Cary's Rebellion

Cary's Rebellion

Cary's Rebellion was an uprising in colonial North Carolina occasioned by the disfranchisement of the Quakers, a numerous sect in that province. In 1707, Thomas Cary, deputy governor, was deposed at the solicitation of the Quakers, but for two years refused to abandon his office. When the colony's proprietors sent Edward Hyde as governor, Cary revolted, though he had promised to support Hyde. With Virginia aid, Cary was defeated, captured and sent to England on a treason charge, but was never tried.
