Prelude to a RiotRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » Tina_Coruth - Re: White Pine Tree In response to message posted by Dubh_Sidhe:Hi Virginia, You piqued my curiosity, so I did a quick search. North Carolina colonists certainly were active. I'm not sure which incident you had in mind, but I found this very interesting: May 16, 1771: Battle of Alamance. 1,100 Militia of Royal Governor Tryon defeated 2,000 Regulators, ending the War of the Regulation. First battle against Britain fought in the colonies. (Alamance) The Struggle for Independence in North Carolina http://www.cbiinternet.com/users/shallow... Those Regulators were something else. It would seem that there are a lot of stories of rebellion that should share the spotlight in history with Sam Adams and the Boston Tea Party. Writers of the Pine Tree Riot claim the reason why the Boston Tea Party is so well known and not the other events such as the Pine Tree Riot, is that they had better historians who secured their place in history!! This has been very interesting. Thank you, Virginia! -- posted by Tina_Coruth » Tina_Coruth - Re: Until then... In response to message posted by jerrib:Thank you, Jerri! I agree with you that there are a lot of state history facts that are not widely known. If you see my response to Virginia above, there is more about another state! I love history! I will look forward to your return visit! Tina -- posted by Tina_Coruth » Tina_Coruth - Re: Ownership of trees...
