Wait, were the regulators the tax collectors, or the people against tax collectors? Seems to me that whoever was against tax collectors would be more likely to be Patriots -- AW 20:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
"In 1764, several thousand people from North Carolina, mainly from Orange, Anson, and Granville counties in the western region (that also included areas within present day Notheast Tennessee), were extremely dissatisfied with North Carolina officials whom they considered cruel, arbitrary, tyrannical and corrupt." (emphasis added)
I'm not really sure it's accurate to say that northeastern Tennessee was really involved. They had similar issues, but the primary phenomenon radiated from the past area of Orange, Anson, and Granville Counties (there was some activity I think in Charlotte too I think, but I don't remember)...which back then was pretty much was western North Carolina. I'm not going to revert this though because it's been nearly ten years since I last did any kind of research on this topic (and I more or less stuck to the Orange County components). – Pakman044 06:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
You are correct. The Proclamation Act of 1763 forbade white settlers from living or even traveling anywhere on the western side of the Appalachian Ridge...in theory anyway. Enforceability was to be left to only 7500 British troops. 98.16.44.16 ( talk) 09:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the article lacks any references (inline or otherwise). The extensive list at the end is what I would expect from a high school student who was required to have a certain number of references. It has been three years since the lack of references was mentioned. This is one of the reasons Wikipedia has gotten a bad reputation.

Under causes is the sentence "Ultimately they brought in state militia to crush the rebellion, and then hanged their leaders" (emphasis added).
Was there truly a state militia in colonial North Carolina?

I took out this claim:
Judge Richard Henderson condemned the six captured Regulators to death. [1]
Because, having looking at the reference cited I see no such claim. Perhaps it is the late and I am bleary eyed and not seeing it. But it took to me like there there is nothing on the pages numbers mentioned to support this claim. Please correct me if I am wrong. It is late, as I said. Pfly ( talk) 05:56, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Why did they call themselves Regulators? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.38.222 ( talk) 16:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Is there any relation to the "well regulated militia" in the second amendment?
South Carolina has an entirely separate and different movement --they also called it "regulator". I created a new article on "Regulator movement in South Carolina" and moved most of the relevant text over there. To minimize confusion I recommend renaming this article "Regulator Movement in North Carolina." -- any comments? Rjensen ( talk) 20:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
