To get to this answer, you would need to have knowledge of the historical context of the Regulators movement in the Up Country. The Up Country refers to the backcountry regions of colonial America, while the Low Country refers to coastal regions.
The Regulators were a group of individuals who formed during the late 1760s in the backcountry of South Carolina to address issues of law enforcement and governance. The Up Country had a different set of concerns and needs compared to the Low Country.
The Low Country, being closer to major ports and having more established settlements, had sheriffs and established courts to deal with outlaws and maintain law and order. In contrast, the Up Country lacked such infrastructure and institutions, which led to a lack of trust in the sheriffs and courts established by the Low Country.
Therefore, the Up Country formed the Regulators as a response to their perceived lack of justice and fairness from the existing system of law enforcement and governance. The Regulators sought to take matters into their own hands and enforce their own sense of justice in the absence of trusted institutions.
