Answer 1

A group of wealthy residents of the backcountry who protested the lack of courts and lack of representation in the colonial governance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1764 and 1771, a group of farmers in North Carolina got together to fight taxes imposed by colonial officials. The farmers organized and by protest and some sort of violence were heard. William Tryon, Governor of North Carolina, heard their voices. Also, the Regulators were supported by The Sons of Liberty, who were concerned and against high taxes imposed by the British government and provincial government on the citizens and the null representation they had. The Sons of Liberty considered they should have the possibility to govern themselves; In this way, Regulators organized as a group of farmers and made their requests to the local officials and the governor himself. Despite the fact that they were working as a group, both Sons of Liberty and Regulators became regulation leaders and were a preamble to the War for American independence, which began in 1775.
