    About this ebook

    The Market House of Fayetteville, North Carolina is a building of controversy.

    While to many it is the site of many important events in North Carolina including the ratification of the Federal Constitution of the United States of America. To others it is an architectural gem that is listed on the Historic Register. However, to many others the building represents the pain and suffering of slaves and the unresolved issues of race in America.

    This small book sets out to layout both the history and events of the Fayetteville Market House as well as to find the truth to the question as to whether it was in fact a slave market.

    The author realizes that her conclusions will not either change the mind's of those who hold the building as a precious historical landmark nor will it ease the pain of those feel the ongoing pain of their heritage and the experiences their ancestors suffered. She does hope that she has honestly tried to find the truth and present the facts while holding the sensitivities of all parties close to her heart.

      Preface

      The Market House is bound up with the history of Cumberland County and the Scottish people who settled there. The story begins in the British Isles with the question of the English monarchy.

      The Highland Scots were the only large group to come to North Carolina directly from their native land. As early as 1732 a few Scots had settled on the Upper Cape Fear and were enthusiastic about the ‘salubrious climate, fertile soil, and liberal government.¹ In 1740 about three hundred and fifty Scots landed at Wilmington where they had planned to settle, however, tradition tells us that the people of Wilmington ridiculed the Scottish dress and custom so that they moved on. Under the leadership of Neil McNeil they settled in the present Fayetteville area. The assembly of 1740 wanted to promote immigration and led by Governor Johnston, who had come from Scotland himself, they made the new settlers tax exempt for a period of ten years. At the same time conditions in Scotland were worsening. Since the Act of Union in 1707 the Scots had done the best they could to keep from becoming a part of England. Prior to this act Parliament had passed the Settlement Act of 1701 which kept the House of Stuart (which was Scottish) from ruling England. All this was after the birth of the pretender, Bonnie Prince Charles, son of James II in 1688; The English House of Hanover was installed and the rule of George I began in 1715, during which time the Scottish revolted in an attempt to put James II back on the joint throne of England and Scotland. Despite all English efforts to control the Scots the unrest continued. Then, in 1745 Charles, the son of James II, seduced the Scottish people to aid him in his attempt to regain the throne of his fathers. April 16, 1746, the Scots were badly beaten by the Duke of Cumberland, who wrote on a playing card, the nine of diamonds,² No Quarter, Cumberland Duke. This order led to the death of some two thousand Scots, and the social institution around which their lives had revolved. They were forbidden to wear the costumes of their clans. As a result many of the estates fell into the hands of Englishmen who began
