1766 CE

The stated primary aim of the Regulators is to form an honest government and reduce taxation.

The wealthy businessmen/politicians who rule North Carolina see it as a grave threat to their power.

Ultimately, they will bring in the militia to crush the rebellion and hang its leaders.

The War of the Regulation is considered a catalyst to the American Revolutionary War, and it is waged against corrupt officials representing king and crown.
