North Carolinians participated in events lead up to as well as the actions of the Revolutionary War. From the cry of “King George and Broadswords” at the Battle of Moores Creek in February 1776, to recognition that “Another such victory would ruin the British Army,” following the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in March 1781, people in the state made choices about freedom and survival. A Tory War skirmish that occurred at the House in the Horseshoe in August 1781 speaks to those choices. On September 13, 2021, site manager Amanda Brantley, museum educator Sally Bloom, and Revolutionary War Reenactors explored the events of the American Revolution and experience what it was like to make decisions-- under fire--in North Carolina. Sponsored by the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati. Supplemental Resources include: our free Colonial and Revolutionary Times History-In-a-Box Kit. Digital copies are available. Plus, watch Friends in Liberty, a narrative film exploring North Carolina’s revolutionary history through the actual experiences of 14-year old Hugh McDonald, a North Carolina boy who served in the Continental Army. Educator Supplement is available for this film.
