Alamance Battleground State Historic Site, located in Burlington, North Carolina, commemorates the 1771 encounter between the Regulators and royal governor William Tryon's militia. The site preserves the historical context of growing discontent among small farmers over issues like land embezzlement and government collusion, leading to a pivotal revolt in Colonial America.
