Defeat of Highlanders and Regulators in North Carolina
A North Carolina letter from March 1776 reports the rapid defeat of Highlanders and Regulators near Wilmington, highlighting unity across society and predicting Clinton and Campbell will report on Southern weakness. It notes Governor opposition, calls for hostages to restrain internal foes, and mentions prisoners from the Syren near Ocracoke Bar. The piece also lists royal appointments and a St James's birthday ball with court details.
