Battle of Almance The Battle of Almance ended the War Of Regulations, A Battle in Calonial North Carolina over issues of taxation and local control. It was a rebellion against the local goverment. Not against the King. The Battle took place in what was then Orange County. It all started because the colony was mad because of being taxed so much so they revolted. But mostly ﻿﻿Governor Tryon was assuming that the Regulators would rise again. Though the rebellion was crushed, a few years later their tactics became a model for the colonists fighting the British in the American Revolutionary War.
