Pretend that you are a settler in the Upcountry in 1720. You have heard about the Regulators. Would you join them Why or why not?

Answer: Yes I would join them

Explanation:

The Regulators were backcountry settlers who banded together in 1767 in response to a wave of crime that swept their region in the aftermath of a disruptive war with the Cherokee Indians (1759-1761). Bandit gangs, including women as well as escaped slaves, roamed the country with little fear of capture. Lacking local sheriffs, courts, or jails and frustrated by the distance and leniency of the colony's judicial system, Regulators took the law into their own hands. They punished suspected bandits by whipping them, carrying them to the Charleston jail, or escorting them out of the colony. Gradually they expanded their activities to include the regulation of household order.
