Cary's Rebellion
Years: 1711 - 1711
Cary's Rebellion was an uprising against the governor of North Carolina in 1711, led by Thomas Cary who refuses to give up his governorship to Edward Hyde.
The rebellion is part of a long-standing tension between the religious and political groups in North Carolina, generally divided between the Quaker party, of which Cary is a part, and the Church of England party, to which Hyde belongs.
