Tryon's Palace--Why the Regulators revolted and brought on the Revolution

This is the rebuilt palace, meant to be authentic. The more exact the rebuilders made it, the more they gloated that they were showing just how the colonists' taxes were being used.  In the 1760s in North Carolina there was a discrepancy in wealth between the Governor and his favorites and the rest of the inhabitants. My schoolmaster cousin George Sims in the 1765 Nutbush speech took note of that discrepancy.
