The Regulator Movement
Published 4 years ago
Description
Who were the men who moved into what’s now East Tennessee, establishing the first local governments there, such as the Watauga Association in 1772 and the State of Franklin in 1784? Many of them came from a movement that had been quashed in North Carolina by the Royal Governor in a battle that’s still remembered and re-enacted today. Today we tell the story of the Regulator Movement.
