@thesociableadventurer Alamance Battleground is a State Historic Site in Burlington, NC, that monuments the 1771 battle of "the Regulators" against royal governor William Tryon's militia. The Regulators were a group of backcountry farmers enraged by how royals and public officials took advantage of them. Despite attempts at peaceful solutions for their grievances, the government did not respond, which ignited violence. Although the Regulators were defeated, the battle was a spark, along with many others, that contributed to the start of the Revolutionary War. Alamance Battleground has guided tours where visitors can see the visitor center, the John Allen House, a 3/4 nature trail, the James Hunter Monument, and the 1880 granite column commemorating the battle. @nc.gov @discoverthecarolinas @mypbsnc #BurlingtonNC #AlamanceCounty #AlamanceCountyNC #VisitNC #CelebratingNC #discover_carolinas #discoverNC #bestofthetarheelstate #NC #NorthCarolina #Adventure #Discover #Explore #VisitAlamanceCounty #DayTrip #RoadTrip #NCStateHistoricSite #NCHistoricSite #HistoricSite #HistoricBattles #NCbattles #NChistory #AlamanceBattleground #Backcountry #BackcountryFarmer #TheRegulators #WilliamTryon ♬ Good Vibes (Instrumental) – Ellen Once Again
