This day in North Carolina History: REAL Americans fighting for freedom and big government depriving them of their rights. One of the insurrectionists. LEWIS S. LEARY, a free negro, one of the insurrectionists, who was shot at Harper’s Ferry, was a native of Fayetteville, an infamous scoundrel who ran away from justice, and thereby cheated the rope of a deserving compliment. His father still lives in Fayetteville and is a very exemplary citizen — and his brother has a saddle and harness manufactory. North Carolina Argus (Wadesboro), 17 November 1859.
