__**Meklenburg And Halifax Resolves**__ In 1762, Meklenburg was created from Anson county. The name was to honor Charlotte sophia of Meklenburg Strelitz, Germany. The New Bride of King George III. But trouble had been going on in the American Colonies for some time now. Tempers reached a boiling point when in June, 1774 news came that Britain had decided to punish the town of Boston for their role in the Boston Tea Party by closing the harbor.

Support poured in from the colonies so they went along with that plan.
