CAROLINA COLONYAfter Virginia became such a success,

people didn’t bother settling in present-day NC. Once it started to be explored again in 1622, they found fruitful lands and enormous forests.

The trees were excellent source for ship masts and making tar & pitch. These are called naval stores.

King Charles I granted Carolana to Sir Robert Heath, his attorney general, insisting that he attract new settlers to the area.

CAROLINA COLONYBy 1660, as many as 500 people lived in NC due to interest from Virginia & help from Heath’s friend.

They had no real form of government at this time.

In 1665, 8 Lords Proprietors were given land in Carolana (Latin for Charles) as a reward for helping King Charles II regain his throne.

Carolina Colony – notesSurvival Guide

CAROLINA COLONYCarolina colony was split into 3 counties.AlbemarleClarendonCraven

Albemarle already had settlers but did not grow quickly.

Clarendon was around Wilmington and was not successful in its early years.

Craven was present day SC, and was not settled until 1670.

CAROLINA COLONYGovernment in Albemarle was led by a governor who was appointed by the LPs and worked to please them and had most of the power.

There was also an Assembly that was elected by the land-owning men of the county.

The Assembly set the governor’s salary but had little power.

CAROLINA COLONYThere was also a Council (appointed

by LPs) that became the “upper house” of the government.

The Assembly became the “lower house” of the gov’t.

The Governor was acting as the head one in charge.

These groups resemble today’s US president & Legislative branch.

Quitrent = land tax to help pay the governors and those setting the rules.

CAROLINA COLONYThe LPs set up a party (prerogative party) that they believed would best serve the colony without the people’s input.

People against this group, popular party, were in favor of the people’s vote and were mostly made up of settlers who were there before the LPs took over.
