If troops camped near the border between north and south carolina received orders telling them to go north to the pennsylvania border, about how many miles would they have to travel?

To answer this question, first we have to determine specific places to measure the distances. The choosen location in the border between North and South Carolina is McFarlan, North Carolina, and the one in the Pennsylvania border is Markleysburg, Pennsylvania.

The distance between both towns is of 411 miles by feet, assuming that troops are going to go by march. This would take them 139 hours (or 5 days and 19 hours of non-stop marching) to reach their destination.
