Question: What other rebellion occurred in North Carolina 60 years earlier than the Battle of Alamance?
Answer: The Cary Rebellion occurred when Thomas Cary was displaced as North Carolina’s chief executive in January 1711 by Edward Hyde, sparking armed conflict between Cary’s supporters—dissenters and Bath County residents—and Hyde’s forces. It ended with Cary’s defeat and flight by mid-1711. It also reflected deeper religious and regional political tensions.
