<p>The <b>Halifax Resolves</b> was a name later given to the <a href="Resolution_(law)" title="Resolution (law)">resolution</a> adopted by the <a href="North_Carolina_Provincial_Congress" title="North Carolina Provincial Congress">North Carolina Provincial Congress</a> on April 12, 1776. The adoption of the resolution was the first official action in the <a href="Thirteen_Colonies" title="Thirteen Colonies">American Colonies</a> calling for independence from <a href="Kingdom_of_Great_Britain" title="Kingdom of Great Britain">Great Britain</a> during the <a href="American_Revolution" title="American Revolution">American Revolution</a>. The Halifax Resolves helped pave the way for the presentation to Congress of the <a href="United_States_Declaration_of_Independence" title="United States Declaration of Independence">United States Declaration of Independence</a> less than three months later.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div>

<p>The creation and ratification of the resolves was the result of a strong movement in the colonies advocating separation from <a href="Kingdom_of_Great_Britain" title="Kingdom of Great Britain">Great Britain</a>. These separatists, or "<a href="Patriot_(American_Revolution)" title="Patriot (American Revolution)">American Whigs</a>" (later, "Patriots"), sought to mobilize public support for a much discussed and all encompassing declaration of independence.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The primary impediment to an outright declaration of independence from Great Britain was that none of the delegates to the <a href="Second_Continental_Congress" title="Second Continental Congress">Second Continental Congress</a> were authorized by their home governments to take any action that would lead to such a declaration. Advocates of independence therefore sought to revise the instructions to each congressional delegation and remove any restrictions regarding a declaration of independence.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The resolution of April 12, 1776, became known as the Halifax Resolves because the <a href="North_Carolina_Provincial_Congress" title="North Carolina Provincial Congress">Fourth Provincial Congress</a> of North Carolina adopted them while meeting in the town of <a href="Halifax%2C_North_Carolina" title="Halifax, North Carolina">Halifax, North Carolina</a>. The 83 delegates present unanimously adopted the resolves, which encouraged delegates to the Continental Congress from all the colonies to finally push for independence. The adoption of the Halifax Resolves was the first official action in the colonies calling for independence from Great Britain.<sup id="cite_ref-NCPedia_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NCPedia-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Drive_to_independence">Drive to independence</h2></div>

<p>The Halifax Resolves only empowered North Carolina's three delegates to the <a href="Second_Continental_Congress" title="Second Continental Congress">Second Continental Congress</a> (<a href="Joseph_Hewes" title="Joseph Hewes">Joseph Hewes</a>, <a href="William_Hooper" title="William Hooper">William Hooper</a>, and <a href="John_Penn_(delegate)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Penn (delegate)">John Penn</a>) to join with those from other colonies to declare independence from Great Britain's rule.<sup id="cite_ref-NC_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NC-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NCPedia_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NCPedia-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>With the passage of the resolves, North Carolina became the first colony to explicitly permit their delegates to vote in favor of independence.<sup id="cite_ref-NC_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NC-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Halifax Resolves, however, stopped short of instructing North Carolina's delegates to introduce a resolution of independence to Congress,<sup id="cite_ref-NC_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NC-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a step which was taken by <a href="Colony_of_Virginia" title="Colony of Virginia">Virginia</a> in June with the adoption of the <a href="Lee_Resolution" title="Lee Resolution">Lee Resolution</a><sup id="cite_ref-NCPedia_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NCPedia-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="Second_Continental_Congress" title="Second Continental Congress">Second Continental Congress</a> issued the <a href="United_States_Declaration_of_Independence" title="United States Declaration of Independence">United States Declaration of Independence</a> the following month, in July.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2></div>

<p>Every year, on April 12, the <a href="Halifax_Historic_District" title="Halifax Historic District">Halifax Historic District</a>, a historic site operated by the <a href="North_Carolina_Department_of_Cultural_Resources" class="mw-redirect" title="North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources">North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources</a>, celebrates <a href="Halifax_Day" class="mw-redirect" title="Halifax Day">Halifax Day</a>. Interpreters in period costumes provide guided tours of historic buildings, demonstrate historic crafts and teach about colonial activities. Occasionally, reenactors portray revolutionary-era soldiers and demonstrate the use of historic weapons during the Halifax Day events.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
