Book Signing & Talk: “The Regulator Movement in North Carolina” with Author Marcia Phillips

Join us for a special morning with author Marcia Phillips as she discusses her new book, The Regulator Movement in North Carolina — the forgotten story of America’s first freedom fighters.

Before the Boston Tea Party, before Paul Revere’s ride, thousands of backcountry North Carolina settlers rose up against corrupt royal governors, excessive taxation, and a justice system rigged for the wealthy elite. Their rebellion — five years before the official start of the American Revolution — helped ignite revolutionary ideas across the southern colonies and shaped the course of American history.

Marcia will share how the Regulators’ legacy rippled into the Revolutionary War’s brutal Southern Campaign and why this story is essential to understanding where the struggle for American liberty truly began — not in Boston, but right here in the hills and backcountry of North Carolina.
