The Militias of Revolutionary North Carolina:
Peering Through the Smoke
Dr. Wayne E. Lee, Ph.D. is a professor of history and the 2025-26 Charles Boal Ewing Chair of Military History in the Department of History & War Studies at the United States Military Academy.
Lee will be speaking about his research into the experiences of the North Carolina militias during the American Revolution. By looking deeper, it was discovered that there were several different kinds of militias, and they fought remarkably different wars. It was a surprising story of consistent patriot success that prevented British efforts at raising large loyalist forces, but militia forces also descended into neighbor-on-neighbor violence in the later years of the war. Like most of history, it turns out to be a complicated story.
