North Carolina governor Josiah Martin opposed his colony's participation in the First Continental Congress. ... During the War for Independence, the opposing sides in North Carolina took on the name of English Parliamentary parties. The "Whigs" were the patriot side and the "Tories" were the Loyalists.

North Carolinians reacted strongly to British taxation and reorganization schemes introduced in 1763. The Stamp Act and the Townshend Act drew the growing radical element's ire in particular and led to the emergence of a Sons of Liberty group. Pressure was exerted on colonial officials in the colony, which forced them to abandon efforts to implement the Stamp Act; only the royal governor held firm and attempted to enforce the law.
