Best Answer

After being driven out by fierce opposition of Charlotte & Mecklenburg's citizens to British occupation in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War British General Cornwallis wrote that "Charlotte Town was a hornet's nest of rebellion." The date "May 20, 1775" reflects the date that the citizens of Mecklenburg declared independence from Britain… more than a year before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia declared independence from Britain.
