Item # 672492
February 07, 1782
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Feb. 7, 1782
* re. Isaac Haynes execution
* American Revolutionary War
All of the front page, page 2, and a portion of page 3 are taken up with: "Further Particulars of the Debate in the House of Lords...on the Duke of Richmond's Motion Respecting the Execution of Col. Haynes in America." This was a very controversial event in the Revolutionary War as Isaac Haynes was hanged by the British under controversial charges.
Near the back is nearly half a page of news from Charleston which also includes a Proclamation from British General Leslie in which he pledges the support & protection of all loyal subjects in the colony.
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
AI notes: Isaac Haynes was an American patriot during the Revolutionary War who was executed by the British in 1781. Haynes was a colonel in the North Carolina militia and had previously served in the Continental Army. His death occurred during the Southern Campaign, a brutal phase of the war in which Loyalist and British forces were actively suppressing rebel activity in the Carolinas. Haynes was captured by British forces under the command of General Cornwallis and, despite being offered the chance to pledge loyalty to the Crown, refused to do so. Because of his staunch commitment to the American cause, he was hanged as a rebel—a common fate for patriots who resisted British authority in the South. His execution was part of the wider context of harsh reprisals by the British against insurgent leaders during this period.
