The Gourd Patch Conspiracy

Alex Christopher Meekins •07/19/2023 Link

The Gourd Patch Affair, or the Lewellen Conspiracy, was a failed uprising against North Carolina's Patriot government in the summer of 1777. A group of Martin, Tyrrell, Pitt, and Bertie County farmers met in a pumpkin patch and crafted a secret plot. Their aim? Assassinate North Carolina's governor, overthrow the state government, and protect the Protestant religion.
