This is significant. Alamance County is the location of the Battle of Alamance... the FIRST battle in the American Revolution against British Tyranny. The British dictator/governor Tryon defeated the Regulators, who refused to pay taxes (particularly on grain products and others)or tolerate absurd abuse by corrupt govt. agents against their persons— to support the building of Tryon’s Palace, an absurd mansion in New Bern, NC.
This was waaaaay before the Boston Tea Party and the Stamp Act and all of the escalated reasons for Revolution.

The NC legislature is expediting a bill to prevent the removal of any memorials— it will pass. NC is the location of the FIRST push back against tyranny. Push back FReepers to keep our Republic.

The signage at this demonstration says: All lives matter, ALL HISTORY matters.

I had never heard of Tryon Palace until your post.

Just looked it up——it looks quite impressive.

Also-thanks for the history lesson.
