Ten years before the start of the American Revolution, backcountry settlers in the North Carolina Piedmont launched their own defiant bid for economic independence and political liberty. The Regulator Rebellion of 1766-71 pitted thousands of farmers, many of them religious radicals inspired by the Great Awakening, against political and economic elites who opposed the Regulators' proposed reforms. The conflict culminated on May 16, 1771, when a colonial militia defeated more than 2,000 armed farmers in a pitched battle near Hillsborough. At least 6,000 Regulators and sympathizers were forced to swear their allegiance to the government as the victorious troops undertook a punitive march through Regulator settlements. Seven farmers were hanged.
Using sources that include diaries, church minutes, legal papers, and the richly detailed accounts of the Regulators themselves, Marjoleine Kars delves deeply into the world and ideology of free rural colonists. She examines the rebellion's economic, religious, and political roots and explores its legacy in North Carolina and beyond. The compelling story of the Regulator Rebellion reveals just how sharply elite and popular notions of independence differed on the eve of the Revolution.

Review
The most thorough analysis of the Regulators in North Carolina, particularly in the evolving Piedmont society preceding their rebellion.--North Carolina Historical Review
[Kars] shows how ordinary people struggled to establish dignity within complex class structures not of their own making. In a crisp, narrative style, Kars captures the local voices of resistance without losing sight of the larger social and economic forces that transformed personal frustration into organized violence. . . . A welcome contribution not only to the history of agrarian protest but also to the currently burgeoning field of Atlantic history.--Journal of American History
This first complete narrative treatment of the Regulator rebellion . . . makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the Great Awakening and the nature of backcountry settlement in the Upper South.--Georgia Historical Quarterly
A masterful work, truly required reading for a proper understanding of early North Carolina history. . . . A well-organized, delightfully written volume grounded in extensive research that unearths new material as well as judiciously reinterprets hitherto available information.--William and Mary Quarterly
Kars has put the North Carolina Regulation at the forefront of American frontier history and underlined the crucial importance of the backcountry in understanding the role of ordinary people in the American past.--Journal of Interdisciplinary History
This is social history of the highest order. . . . Kars's explanation of the uprising should cause a reevaluation of the origins of the American Revolution. This important book should command the attention of all students of the origins of the Revolution.--Historian
Review
Marjoleine Kars offers an engaging and richly detailed exploration of the North Carolina Regulators, illuminating the power of their folk Christianity. With insight and empathy, she recovers the Regulators' importance in the era of the American Revolution and to the creation of American populism.--Alan Taylor, University of California, Davis

Frankly, I'm disappointed
By A Customer
The "War" of the Regulation in NC has long cried out for an in-depth history, one that avoids the romanticism (First Battle of the Revolution!) and the innacuracies (Regulators vs. the British!).
The truth of the matter is that neither side in the conflict wore white hats. While the colonial government, like all British-styled colonial governments, supported "court house rings" and was not responsive to the justifiable complaints of its under-represented citizenry, the Regulators were, by any standard, insurrectionists. They took up arms against their governnment, destroyed property, endagered public officials and threatened to march on the capitol at New Bern. It is difficult to imagine any government threatened by such a situation not taking up arms to curtail it. There was much blame due each side.
Ms. Kars comes down early on the side of Regulators, missing the balance that such a history deserves. She gives far too much weight to her belief that the dissent in the backcountry was linked to a religious upswelling, ignoring that the Carolina backcountry was noted by many sources as being nearly totally irreligious.
Her work does contain an accounting of the period and its major events; but the reader should consider that the account she presents is slanted toward the Regulators.

light on a hidden corner of American history
By C. P. Anderson
The Regulators were a movement in pre-Revolutionary North Carolina that presaged movements like Shay's and the Whiskey Rebellion in the post-Revolutionary North. I don't know if it was the timing or the geography that worked against them, but I always thought that the Regulators deserved more press than they have received. I really know of no other books that addresses this topic so directly.
The book is a fine piece of history - excellent use of source material, an ability to frame the story relative to larger issues, good narrative, and good characterization (the figure of Herman Husband is especially appealing). I particularly liked the author's overall thesis - that the Regulators represented a true underclass, and were rebelling as much against the elite who would soon lead the Revolution as against the British. I was also was intrigued - if not totally convinced - by the large role she saw Dissenter religion playing in the movement.
The book is hurt slightly by the author's use of some academic cant. Other than that, though, this is a fine work, and highly recommended - especially for anyone interested in North Carolina history.

Breaking Loose Together: The Regulator Rebellion in Pre-Revolutionary North Carolina
By Retired and Lovin' It
Incredible portrayal of true activisism and a better understanding of
Pre-Revolutionary history in North Carolina and the Regulator movement.
I truly believe that this was definitely the first Revolutionary War uprising and history should accept it as what it was.
What devoted people Herman Husband and the Regulators were who truly believed in wanting their fair rights and to have all the people recognized not just those privileged few at the top.
This book really helped open my eyes as to what just a few, who believe in truth and justice, can do.
