Comments
(Quote from the diary of Moravian minister Rev. Soelle contained in Volume Two of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. The Regulators of North Carolina were resisting British rule and oppression in the form of heavy taxation and extortion which culminated in the battle of Alamance Creek in May of 1771, where they were defeated by Gov. Tryon. This battle took place near Hillsborough, the present day capital of Orange County, NC. It is said that 1,500 former Regulators left NC by 1772.)
