Which of the following statements is NOT correct when describing the Regulation movement of the Carolinas? Without a functioning legal system, the Regulators acted as vigilantes on the frontier and were quite brutal in their effort to maintain law and order.

Regulators in North and South Carolina coordinated their efforts to establish a system of courts in the backcountry and were established by their colonial legislatures as an efficient and inexpensive way to expand colonial authority.

Farmers in South Carolina set up their Regulations in the 1760s after the colony's assembly failed to set up a system of courts in the backcountry.

In North Carolina, the Regulators were established to protest unfair treatment by a corrupt government that imposed high taxes.

Settlers in the backcountry did not have the same political representation or legal institutions compared to plantation owners who lived near the Atlantic coast.
