Chandler, Abby

Abstract:

The article examines the Regulators’ and Governor William Tryon’s use of political language and rituals to support their causes and the growing crisis between Britain and the colonies in the 1760s. The author states that the Regulator movement was ultimately shaped by political interests and consequences beyond the state and influenced the American Revolution. Both the Regulators and Tryon believed that the other group did not follow the laws of the country and that this problem could be settled outside the law.

Lawrence, R.C.

Abstract:

Herman Husband was a leader of the Regulators during the pre-Revolutionary era. He was a man of education and had a talent for public leadership with an inborn hatred of oppression. He represented Orange County in the Colonial Assembly and would have been acclaimed as a patriot had the Regulators been successful at the battle on Great Alamance Creek.
