I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was north carolina seeking independence from in 1776?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A major American victory in the war took place at King's Mountain along the North Carolina–South Carolina border; on October 7, 1780, a force of 1000 mountain men from western North Carolina (including what is today the state of Tennessee)and Southwest Virginia overwhelmed a force of some 1000 British troops led by Major Patrick Ferguson.". Is that enough to answer the question?
