May 20th, 2021, marks the 246th anniversary of the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, which preceded the signing of the more famous Declaration by more than a year. Influential Charlotte (then called Charlottetown) men declared themselves “free and independent” of the British crown. The declaration was read on noon of May 20th from the courthouse steps. Then a second document, the Mecklenburg Resolves, was written.
