Carole Watterson Troxler (née Georgia Carole Watterson) is an American historian, educator, and author. She is a Professor Emerita at Elon University.

Early life and education. Carole Watterson was born in LaGrange, Georgia. She received an A.B. degree from the University of Georgia, followed by a PhD in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[5]

Career Troxler has written about white Loyalists who fled the Southern Backcountry during the War of the American Revolution and Black Loyalists who joined the British forces in the Southern Theater. Both groups left with the British at the war’s end, and Troxler follows their subsequent lives in the loyal colonies of East Florida, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Bahama Islands.[14]

She has treated the pre-Revolutionary Regulator Movement, which Alan D. Watson characterized as “the most historiographically exciting and controversial topic in North Carolina's past.” Watson found her account of the May 16, 1771 defeat of the Regulators to be “the best account available of the bloodiest confrontation among white English colonials in the eighteenth century.” [15]

The background of the Regulator upheaval is the context for a book of Young Adult/Adult historical fiction, for which Troxler received a book award from the North Carolina Society of Historians.[16] Her research for Shuttle & Plow: A  History of Alamance  County, North Carolina (1999) led to later biographies of the African American Reconstruction leader Wyatt Outlaw [17] and the pioneer in women’s higher education Sallie Stockard. Susan Schramm-Pate wrote that Troxler’s treatment of Stockard is a "masterfully crafted biography."[3]

Personal life She was married to George Wesley Troxler (1942–2019), who also worked as a history professor at Elon. In 2010, they jointly received the Christoper Crittenden Memorial Award from the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association.[18]
