Edenton Tea Party: a political protest in Edenton, North Carolina, in response to the Tea Act, passed by the British Parliament in The protest, led by women, drew up resolves not to buy English tea and cloth.

British forces led by General Cornwallis scored a tactical victory over American forces led by Nathaniel Greene, they suffered significant loss of troops. Afterward, Cornwallis abandoned his
9 9 Carolina campaign and retreated to Virginia where he would later surrender to General George Washington after the Battle of Yorktown. NC Constitution of 1776: A state constitution created to reaffirm the rights of the people and establish a government compatible with the ongoing struggle for American independence. It explicitly affirmed the principle of the separation of powers and identified the familiar three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. It gave the greatest power to the General Assembly, which would make the laws as well as appoint all state executives and judges. The governor, serving a one-year term, would exercise little power. Sectional differences led to the Regulator movement: The Regulator Movement in mid-eighteenth-century North Carolina was a rebellion initiated by residents of the colony's inland region, or backcountry, who believed that royal government officials were charging them excessive fees, falsifying records, and engaging in other mistreatments. The movement's name refers to the desire of these citizens to regulate their own affairs. An unfair system of taxation prevailed under which less productive land, such as that in the western and Mountain regions, was taxed at the same rate as the more fertile, level soil of the Coastal Plain. These and other hardships contributed to the Regulators' feelings of sectional discrimination and deep distrust of authorities rooted in eastern North Carolina. The Regulators organized a resistance to these abuses, first through protest and ultimately through violence.
