Small North Carolina town gets a big lift from the North Carolina National Guard
Princeville, N.C. is a small town in eastern North Carolina along the Tar River. It's significant place in history is that it's the first town settled in America by freed slaves after the Civil War. That history didn't matter however when Hurricane Matthew deposited a deluge of water across the state and the rivers over flowed, flooding many areas to include Princeville. Citizen soldiers from the 875th Engineer Company out of Lexington, stepped up in a big way for a small town with big history.

NC Regulators in the Battle of Alamance
The Battle of Alamance was the culmination of the short-lived tax revolt known as the War of the Regulation between the North Carolina Regulators and Governor William Tryon in May of 1771. The battle ended in quick disaster for the Regulators but left a deep imprint on the people of North Carolina and is considered by some historians as the battle that set the stage for the upcoming American Revolution

Alamance Battleground Weapons Demonstration
Those who waited out the heavy rains on May 19th were treated to quite a loud weapons demonstration at Historic Alamance Battlefield.
Here in 1771, an armed rebellion of backcountry farmers called Regulators battled with royal governor William Tryon's militia. The spark for this conflict was growing resentment in the Carolina colony against the taxes, dishonest sheriffs, and illegal fees imposed by the British Crown. In response, the Regulators were formed and began to fight back. Though the rebellion was crushed, a few years later their tactics became a model for the colonists fighting the British in the American Revolutionary War.
The battle of Alamance began on May 16 after the Regulators rejected Governor Tryon's suggestion that they disperse peacefully. Lacking leadership, organization, and adequate arms and ammunition, the Regulators were no match for Tryon's militia. Many Regulators fled, leaving their bolder comrades to fight on.
The rebellion of the Regulators was crushed. Nine members of the king's militia were killed and 61 wounded. The Regulator losses were much greater, though exact numbers are unknown. Tryon took 15 prisoners; seven were hung later. Many Regulators moved on to other frontier areas beyond North Carolina. Those who stayed were offered pardons by the governor in exchange for pledging an oath of allegiance to the royal government.
The War of the Regulation illustrates how dissatisfied much of the population was during the days before the American Revolution. The boldness displayed by reformers opposed to royal authority provided a lesson in the use of armed resistance, which patriots employed a few short years later in the American War for Independence.
