SUMMARY:The Regulatory Movement and the Revolution in the North Carolina Backcountry
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chatham County Historical Association for The Regulatory Movement and the Revolution in the North Carolina Backcountry on Sun\, Feb 1\, 2pm-3:30pm. Carole Troxler\, Professor Emerita at Elon University\, will discuss the years leading up to the America Revolution\, in which yeoman farmers in North Carolina’s Peidmont farmland became increasingly angry about the corruption and dishonesty among the colonial officials who collected their taxes and enforced their laws. A wave of popular support for stricter regulation of these laws slowly spread throughout the Piedmont\, resulting in years of minor clashes between the farmer Regulations and the royal militia. Although the militia finally defeated the Regulators at the Battle of Alamance in 1771\, the seeds of revolt were planted. This little-known rebellion in North Carolina highlighted the growing discontent among American colonists with colonial rule and helped set the state for the American Revolution. \nThis event takes place indoors. The Chatham County Historic Courthouse and Museum is ADA-accessible. No pets allowed. Free parking is available behind the courthouse and along Hillsboro Street. \nThis event is part of our Chatham Celebrates America 250 initiative. See more America 250 events.
