| In 1771 the War of the Regulation began here. This precursor to the Revolutionary War took place when an armed rebellion of backcountry farmers called Regulators battled with royal governor William Tryon's militia. Fueling this conflict was the colonists' growing resentment against the taxes, dishonest sheriffs, and illegal fees imposed by the British Crown. Visitors can tour the eighteenth-century Allen House and battlefield monuments. These sites, along with the visitor center's twenty-one minute video, "Alamance," offer a vivid account of this colonial battle and the tensions caused by the colonial policies that precipitated the revolt. |
