The Province of Carolina was originally chartered in 1629 and was controlled from 1663 to 1729 by eight Lords Proprietors and their heirs. It became a British colony and was later divided into North Carolina and South Carolina, which remained under the control of the same proprietors until becoming royal colonies in 1729.
- The North Carolina colony was originally claimed by Sir Walter Raleigh and granted to eight men through a charter in 1663, which gave them control over the Carolina territory.
- Early governance was controlled by Lords Proprietors who established a government system with a governor, council, and elected assembly, though colonists could only elect assembly members and governors were often harsh.
- Dissatisfaction with taxes led to rebellions like the Culpeper Rebellion in 1677 and the Cary Rebellion in the early 1700s over religious freedom, which divided colonists and led the colony to split into North and South Carolina in 1712.

The document summarizes the key characteristics of the Southern colonies. The Southern colonies had a tidewater region with large tobacco and rice plantations contrasting with backcountry settlements of farmers and hunters. The colonies grew cash crops like tobacco, rice, indigo and cotton using slave labor which became the dominant workforce over indentured servants. Slavery expanded greatly in the 1700s and slave codes treated enslaved Africans as property rather than people.
The Middle Colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware were home to diverse religious and ethnic groups including the Dutch, Swedes, Germans, Quakers, Scots-Irish, and various Native American tribes. William Penn founded Pennsylvania in 1681 and sought religious toleration for all, good relations with Native Americans, and encouraged German immigration. The Middle Colonies became the most ethnically and religiously diverse region in the American colonies due to its policy of religious freedom and attraction of diverse immigrant groups.
The Middle Colonies were founded in the mid-1600s and were located between New England and the Southern colonies. The Dutch originally founded New York as New Netherland, but it came under English control in 1664. New Jersey was established as a proprietary colony by the Duke of York in the 1660s. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1682 as a place for Quakers to worship freely. The Middle Colonies had a diverse population and economies focused on farming and trade.

The Middle Colonies document provides information on the four colonies that made up the Middle Colonies region - New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. It summarizes that the Middle Colonies were settled on rich river lands, making farming and mining important economic activities. It also notes that the English created New York and New Jersey from former Dutch territory, and that William Penn established Pennsylvania to provide refuge for Quakers. The economies of the Middle Colonies relied on both subsistence and commercial farming of crops like wheat, oats, and corn, as well as trade with other colonies facilitated by the region's rivers and harbors.
The Middle Colonies document discusses the colonies of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. New York was originally settled by the Dutch as New Netherlands and New Amsterdam, before being taken over by the English in 1664. New Jersey was founded by Lord Berkley and George Cateret. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a colony for Quakers who believed in nonviolence and tolerance of other religions.
The document summarizes the original 13 southern colonies of North America - Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia. These colonies had economies based around plantation farming of cash crops like tobacco, cotton, and rice. Slavery became widespread in these colonies to support the labor-intensive agriculture. The colonies had mild climates, coastal plains, forests, and rivers well-suited for plantation farming. Each colony had distinct founding dates, purposes, and economic focuses. Virginia was founded first in 1607 as a joint-stock company and developed representative government, while Georgia was founded last in 1732 to provide relief to debtors.
The New England colonies were founded primarily for religious reasons in the early 1600s. The Puritans wanted to purify the Church of England while the Pilgrims sought complete separation and founded the Plymouth colony after signing the Mayflower Compact. The Massachusetts Bay colony was also founded by Puritans seeking religious freedom led by John Winthrop. However, dissenters like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson faced persecution for their religious views, and the Salem Witch Trials led to mass hysteria and executions in 1692. Conflicts with Native Americans included the Pequot War and King Philip's War, changing the colonial landscape.
The document summarizes the founding and key aspects of the New England colonies, including Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1629 by Puritans seeking religious freedom from the Church of England. It had a representative government and religion played a central role in society. Connecticut was founded in 1636 when minister Thomas Hooker disagreed with the strong leadership of Massachusetts Bay's governor. Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams in 1636 based on principles of religious tolerance and separation of church and state.
The Mason-Dixon Line separated the Mid-Atlantic and Southern colonies. Maryland was founded in 1632 as a refuge for Catholics and allowed freedom of religion. Virginia began with the Jamestown settlement in 1607 and grew tobacco as its main crop. Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 was led by Nathaniel Bacon against Native Americans and the capital of Jamestown was burned. The Carolinas were founded later and grew rice and indigo as major crops, using enslaved Native Americans and Africans who eventually outnumbered white settlers. Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe as a place for debtors, starting with smaller farms and no slavery.
The Middle Colonies consisted of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They had diverse geography, including coastal plains, forests, and rivers providing water power and trade routes. The colonies had good relationships and laws protecting equal rights for native and colonial populations. Colonists and natives exchanged skills and languages. Governance was at the local level through boards and assemblies. Colonist life involved wooden family homes, recreation, and Protestant-focused schooling and religion.
The Middle Colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware were established for different reasons, such as trade in New York and religious freedom in Pennsylvania. The economy was based on farming various cash crops and fishing. Quakers settled in Pennsylvania seeking religious tolerance. The Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade and shipping to benefit England, angering the colonists.
The document summarizes the founding and development of the New England colonies. It discusses the establishment of Plymouth Colony by Puritan Pilgrims who signed the Mayflower Compact. It then covers the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Rhode Island colony, which allowed for more religious toleration. Connecticut established the first written constitution. The colonies relied on industries like trade, fishing, and shipbuilding due to the poor soil. Town hall meetings gave citizens a voice in decision making and representative assemblies passed laws, establishing foundations of American democracy.
The document summarizes the development of the three colonial regions in America - New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. It describes how each region's economy, society, and system of labor developed based on its natural resources and environment. In New England, small family farms, fishing, lumber, and trade were important. The Middle Colonies had fertile soil and grew grain as a cash crop. The Southern Colonies relied on large plantations that grew cash crops like tobacco and rice, and eventually came to depend heavily on slave labor as the plantation economy expanded.
The New England colonies consisted of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The climate was colder than other regions due to its northern location, which prevented diseases but also caused severe winters that killed people. The geography was mostly hilly with rocky soil unsuitable for farming, so the economy depended on natural resources like fish, whales, trees, and furs. Shipbuilding, rum production from molasses, and the triangular slave trade were important economic activities. Towns focused on religion, especially Puritanism, and did not tolerate other faiths. Most residents lived in villages and worked small nearby farms or trades.
North Carolina has four geographic regions: the Tidewater region along the coast bordering the Atlantic Ocean, including barrier islands like the Outer Banks; the Coastal Plain region inland known for rich farmland; the Piedmont region with red clay soil including the city where the author lives; and the western Mountain region containing the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains, home to the tallest peak east of the Rockies. The state has varied terrain, climate, and economic activities across its four main geographic areas.

Maryland was established as a refuge for Catholics and passed laws guaranteeing religious freedom. The Carolinas were divided into North and South Carolina and focused on tobacco and rice/indigo respectively. Georgia was founded to act as a buffer between Spanish Florida and the Carolinas and initially banned slavery and liquor under founder James Oglethorpe.
The document summarizes England's growing imperial ambitions in North America in the late 1500s and early 1600s. It discusses early failed English colonization attempts and the founding of Jamestown in 1607. It then outlines the development of the early English colonies in North America, including the establishment of joint-stock companies, the growth of tobacco cultivation, the introduction of slavery from the West Indies, and the founding of other colonies like Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia through the 1700s.

The document provides information on researching 17th century English ancestors, including:
- Many early immigrants arrived in New England in the 1630s or Virginia in the 1620s from England, but passenger lists and records are scarce before 1635.
- The English Civil War from 1642-1660 disrupted parish registration and government records. Compiling information from multiple sources is often needed to identify ancestors from this period.
- Records at The National Archives like the Committee for Sequestrations and Compounding with Delinquents papers provide details about royalists and Catholics impacted by the war.
- Other potential sources of information include heraldic visitations, recusant rolls tax records, and published histories. Non
The Jamestown settlement was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company as the first permanent English colony in North America. The original 104 colonists struggled greatly, with over 60% dying in the first winter from famine, disease, and conflicts with local Native Americans. John Smith emerged as a leader and instituted policies that helped the colony survive. Tobacco was introduced as a cash crop in 1611 and greatly boosted the colony's prosperity. The Virginia Company's charter was revoked in 1624 after criticism of its mismanagement led to many colonist deaths. However, the colony survived and became economically viable due to the lucrative tobacco trade.
Colonial expansion increased in the late 16th century as people left England for religious and economic reasons, establishing new colonies in the West Indies, America, India, and South Africa. By the early 18th century, 13 colonies had formed along the east coast of America, divided into New England, southern, and middle colonies. The first colony of Virginia was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh and became a center for tobacco plantation and the slave trade. Puritan colonists established religious communities including Plymouth and colonies in New England. Catholic colonists founded Maryland for religious tolerance. Quaker colonists established Pennsylvania under William Penn. New York originated as a Dutch colony that was renamed after coming under English control.
The document summarizes the founding and early history of several British colonies in North America. It describes how the Puritans founded Massachusetts to escape religious persecution in England. It then discusses other colonies like Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, the Carolinas and Georgia - noting the reasons for their founding and some key events. It also provides context on the growth of slavery and England's regulation of colonial trade through mercantilism and the Navigation Acts.
The document provides an overview of the American colonies, including:
- England establishes 13 colonies in North America after forcing out the Dutch.
- The first permanent English settlement is founded at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. The colonists struggled at first but tobacco cultivation helped the colony flourish.
- Other colonies were established throughout the 1600s, including colonies founded by Puritans, Dutch, Quakers, and others in different regions for varying religious and economic reasons. By 1752 there were 13 British colonies in North America.
The document summarizes the history of European settlement in South Carolina. It describes how the first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco plantations and the use of indentured servants and African slaves helped the colony prosper. This established the pattern for southern colonies like South Carolina. Founded in 1663, South Carolina was granted to Lords Proprietors and became a prosperous plantation colony due to its fertile land, mild climate, slavery, and attraction of religious freedom seekers. Large plantations cultivating cash crops like tobacco and rice using slave labor made it distinctly southern.
The document summarizes the history and development of several English colonies in North America, including the Chesapeake colonies of Virginia and Maryland, the Puritan colonies of New England, and the colonies of Carolina and Georgia in the South.

4. •In 1691, dissent over the governance of
the province led to the appointment of a
deputy governor to administer the
northern half of Carolina.
•The division between the northern and
southern governments became complete
in 1712, but both colonies remained in the
hands of the same group of proprietors.
•A rebellion against the proprietors broke
out in 1719 which led to the appointment
of a royal governor for South Carolina in
1720.
•After nearly a decade in which the
British government sought to locate and
buy out the proprietors, both North and
