This day in history (1831)


"A new North Carolina law eliminates the Moravians’ exemption from military service. Rather than protest, as their fathers would have, Moravians flock to enlist. By February a militia will form in the Bethania area, and on 4 July Salem’s own militia will parade to martial music." --Moravian Archives, Winston-Salem
