HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA
and contempt of their former friends and neighbors, finally abandoned North Carolina to seek new homes in Canada, Florida, or in the new regions to the south and west. A few went to England where they spent the remaining years of their lives in begging from an ungrateful government com- pensation for the losses which they had sustained in its be- half in America.
Its "Act of Pardon and Oblivion" the Assembly wished to be accepted as evidence of its "earnest desire to observe the articles of peace." These articles, containing the acknowl- edgment of the independence of the United States, the gov- ernor laid before "the representatives of this free, Sovereign and Independent State" on April 19, 1783,-the eighth anni- versary of the battle of Lexington,-saying: "With impa- tience I hasten to communicate the most important intelli- gence that has yet arrived in the American Continent. His Britannic Majesty having acknowledged the United States of America free, Sovereign and Independent, * *
* for this most happy and auspicious event, which involves in it a most precious inheritance for ages and all the blessings that can flow from Independent Empire, with the most lively, fervent and heart-felt joy, I congratulate you and through · you all my fellow-citizens of the State of North Carolina. * Nothing now remains but to enjoy the fruits of un- interrupted Constitutional Freedom, the more sweet and precious as the tree was planted by [the] virtue, raised by the
0 Toil, and nurtured by the blood of Heroes."
