Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Defence of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence: An Exhaustive Review of and Answer to All Attacks on the Declaration In the pages to follow an attempt will be made not so much to present new facts as to marshal the old and new undisputed facts in logical order. The present phase of the Mecklenburg controversy may be compressed into very small compass. It is no longer disputed that a convention was held in May, 1775, which adopted a paper concerning independence. The enemies of the Declaration say that the May 31st Resolves was that paper; that the "convention" and the "committee" that ordered the "Resolves" signed were the same. An analysis is here made of the "Resolves" to show that these systematically and throughout distinguished between the "convention" and the "committee" and designated them as distinct bodies. It is pointed out that Dr. Ephraim Brevard, the admitted author of the paper adopted by the convention, and a practicing physician, could not have produced the May 31st Resolves, which were the work of a lawyer drilled in the details of the practice. The May 20 Declaration is shown to bear the ear-marks of Brevard throughout, while the May 31st Resolves have not one of them. It is shown by contemporaneous record evidence and oral testimony, both of the most positive character, that the Mecklenburgers did declare their independence as claimed. Aside from the positive testimony of witnesses directly and consciously interested in maintaining the truth of the Declaration, the positive and collateral evidences unearthed in the hundred years of the controversy have been most remarkable. The positive testimony of Traugott Bagge in the Moravian record is literally that of one rising from the dead.
