Signed with initials RHL. Describes the Regulator movement in North Carolina, a rebellion by backcountry farmers against lawyers, whose high legal fees and manipulation of debt laws were hurting them. North Carolina Governor William Tryon, although he claimed to agree with the insurgents, resorted to suppression by force: he fell upon the unsuspecting multitudes and made great slaughter with cannons. The royal governor needed more than a thousand troops to defeat the Regulators at the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771.
