<blockquote>What was purported to be the text of the Pittsylvania agreement was later printed in the ''[[Southern Literary Messenger]]'' (2 [May 1836]: 389). However, the Pittsylvania County alliance, if it was formed at all, was so obscure compared to the well-known suppression of the uprising in southwestern Virginia that Charles Lynch's use of the phrase makes it seem most probable that it was derived from his actions, not from William Lynch's.<ref name="ANB" /></blockquote>
