Regulators of North Carolina

Progress Report

This is still very much a work in progress. I'm currently in the process of reading primary source material from the Colonial Records of North Carolina, which I will attach to the wikipage. I've also read Herman Husband's account of the Regulation, which I have attached. Once I have finished reading and attaching the Colonial Records of North Carolina, I plan to research Governor Tryon's collected works.

One question I had about the wikipage was how to address historiography (if I should address it at all). In my analysis section, should I describe the different historiographic approaches to the Regulation?

• Letter_to_Herman_Husband,_14_Sept_1769.pdf: Letter to Herman Husband, detailing the difficulties that some backcountry farmers experienced in suing for extortion at the local courthouse.

• Assembly_Resolutions,_06_Nov_1769.pdf: Assembly resolutions discussing the collection of public funds, and subsequent address by Governor Tryon.

• Tax_Collection,_Rowan_County_1770.pdf: Sheriff describes Regulators refusal to pay taxes in Rowan County

• Orange_County_Petitions.pdf: Petitions from Orange County
