419 The North Carolina Regulator Movement

What happens when the very people meant to uphold justice become the ones exploiting it?

Nathan Schultz, a public historian and the Site Manager at the Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in North Carolina, joins us to explore the North Carolina Regulator Movement.
