Draper, Lyman Copeland, 1815-1891. Draper manuscripts: The Mecklenburg declaration, 1876.

Title: Draper manuscripts: The Mecklenburg declaration, 1876.

An unpublished manuscript by Lyman Draper entitled "The Mecklenburg Declaration: Its Origin, History, and Actors," which is about the North Carolina claim that the citizens of Mecklenburg County, on May 20, 1775, had adopted resolutions declaring the independence of the colony from Great Britain. This draft originated from his study of the controversy and his conclusion that the May 20 declaration was spurious. Also included within the manuscript are biographies of the delegates, certifiers, and other participants of the event; appendices include Draper's introductions and annotations of the text of papers which support his claims.
