Destitute Patriots examines the contributions and sacrifices of the citizens of Bertie County in the context of North Carolina's preparations for and participation in what has been called the "Second War of U.S. Independence." Militiamen and regular army troops from the county lacked basic military equipment and supplies. Of particular note is the fact that many of these men did not receive their military pay until years after the end of the war.
