Did the American Revolution begin with the North Carolina Regulators? Abby Chandler joins us to talk about this North Carolina political movement and some of the characters involved--Governor William Tryon, who was between the proverbial rock and hard place, the Legislature which ran afoul of back-country farmers and speculators, "Regulators" like Herman Husband, and ambitious men on the make like Edmund Fanning. Abby Chandler is writing a book about these 1760s discontents as the British Empire tried to cohere.
