PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The Carolinas were founded in the 1660’s by King Charles II. It did not go as planned, because settlers wanted a greater role in the colonies government; in 1719, the southern settlers seized control from its proprietors. Carolina became 2 royal colonies in 1729, North Carolina and South Carolina.
North Carolina was founded for religious reasons and for economic reasons. The colonists wanted to be able to practice whatever religion they believed in. In order to do that, they had to escape from England.
North Carolina was mainly settled by English proprietors. It was also filled with mainly English settlers, who were funded by the English proprietors. There was also slaves, which was very sad.
North Carolina has a generally warm climate, which is great for growing crops. North Carolina is located on the east side of North America, touching the Atlantic. To the north of North Carolina is Virginia and to the south is South Carolina.
North Carolina’s economy concentrated on plantations and growing crops. It exported goods such as tobacco, corn, cotton, corn, grain, vegetables, fruit, and livestock. It had a good economy, but also hosted the most slaves per plantation of any colony.
North Carolina was not dominated by a specific religion. This allowed religious freedom for Baptists, Anglicans, and more. I believe that this was one of the things that really helped the colony grow and advance.
North Carolina was governed as a royal colony. They also had cities have their own municipal government. As a royal colony it had a royal governor and council that was appointed to be in the government.
