The Hillsborough District militia was an administrative division of the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War (1776–1783). ==Background== At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the newly formed North Carolina government converted the state's six existing judicial districts into military districts. These districts each comprised a number of counties surrounding a significant town. The six districts, which corresponded with old judicial organizations, were: Edenton, New Bern, Wilmington, Halifax, Salisbury, and Hillsborough.〔Note: Later, two additional districts were added, further dividing the mountainous western part of the state.〕 Each district was to supply a brigade of militia regiments under the command of a brigadier general. As the militia had a poor reputation for turning out, bounties to induce volunteerism were common during the war. For men who chose not to serve when drafted, there were two options: pay for a substitute to take their place or pay a fine. These options, with some modifications, remained throughout the war.
