This picture depicts some of the Regulators fleeing across the North Carolina Mountains and beyond the Proclaimation Line in 1763. Many chose to move to Tennesee where they could not be weighed down by the eastern government. Later, the regulators that fled were re-named the Overmountain Men. These were the men that re-crossed the mountains and aided the Patriot's victory in the American Revolution in the Battle of King's Mountain.
