  • June 20, 1775: The Liberty Point Resolves

    Cover art for June 20, 1775: historical marker denoting the place where the Liberty Point Resolves were developed.

    Mike has already mentioned the location of the historical marker in today’s art. It’s tough to read even when you’re standing there, so here’s the text:

    At or near this place
    ever since known as

    “Liberty Point”
    was promulgated in
    June 1775,
    by patriots of the Cape Fear
    A Declaration of Independence
    of the British Crown.

    This was an extremely historic neighborhood, should you choose to visit. There are at least eight other historical markers within a short walking distance of this one, not all of them are connected to the American Revolution. In fact, one of them dates back to living memory of some of the locals.
