THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Aug. 3, 1771  Page 2 has a report from Charleston, South Carolina, concerning the Regulators, noting in part: "...upwards of 2000 of the Regulators having, since the battle of the 26th past, laid down their arms upon Governor Tryon's Proclamation offering a pardon to all...that would immediately do so, pay their taxes, take the oath of allegiance, and refuse any further protection to the outlaws..." with more (see), taking close to a full column. The Regulator Movement was a North Carolina uprising, lasting from 1764 to 1771, where citizens took up arms against corrupt colonial officials. While unsuccessful, some historians consider it a catalyst to the American Revolutionary War.
