The Battle of Alamance Creek was indeed part of the Regulator movement, which was a rebellion initiated by residents of the inland colony of North Carolina in the late 1760s. These residents, or "Regulators," were dissatisfied with local officials who they believed were corrupt and with their lack of representation in the colonial assembly. They sought to reform the government but were met with resistance, leading to the Battle of Alamance Creek in 1771. This battle was not about colonial militia limitations, conflicts with Native Americans over land, or French ambitions in the Ohio Valley, but rather about the grievances of western colonists feeling underrepresented and seeking redress for their grievances.
