Historical Background: North and South Carolina were founded in 1663 by the 8 English Nobles. Both north and south were founded based on economic reasons. The north had a bunch of poor farmers, while the south had rich masters who had a lot of slaves. While both colonies were really different, I personally think each one of them had something going for them. North Carolina, while poor, knew they always had each other to encourage them. Family is really big there, as family is the best encourager. In South Carolina, I guarantee you a lot of work gets done every day. Plantation owners push their slaves to the point of almost death for little pay. Plantation owners get to sit back, and “reap the benefits” of the harvest. If you had the money and land, then that would be a pretty nice job to have. Both North and South Carolina though share the common bound of farming.
Government: Colonist from The Carolinas ran their government with regulators who helped regulate the government. Both north and south had slaves, however South Carolina was well known for their number of slaves.
Geography: North and South Carolina are located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Both Carolinas had fertile soil, making farming the number one booster for the economy.
Economy: The main part of The Carolinas’ economy is farming. In the south, there were large plantations with a lot of slaves, while the north had poor farmers trying to make it through their hard times. The main crops of both North Carolina and South Carolina are indigo, rice, and tobacco.
Celebrity Residents: The most important resident of the Carolinas was Walter Raleigh. He founded the city Raleigh in North Carolina. Raleigh took the tobacco he farmed, and helped make it popular in England.
Religion: The religion of The Carolinas was Protestant Christian.
Important documents: The Magna Carta is an important document to The Carolinas, because the citizens of England followed by it, therefore the North and South Carolina colonists did too.
Selling Point: If you have the money and slaves to start your farming plantation, then come to South Carolina! If you are in need of money, and are good at farming, then come to North Carolina.
Target resident: Any colonist who has what it takes to be a farmer, and can work well in hot weather, or cold weather changing quickly.
