History of the Split of Carolinas into 2 States

History of the Split of Carolinas into 2 States

On Traveling Through History, we take a look at the history behind the split of the Carolina Colony into 2 states as the United States was forming.  We review the reasons behind the split, as well as a look at the cultures of both states - NORTH CAROLINA and SOUTH CAROLINA.

The unique geography of the Carolina colony was a primary contributor to the separation of the regions into 2 colonies and then later 2 states.  Due to its massive size, settlers constantly faced a wide range of threats, from Native Americans to pirates to different farming opportunities and cultures.

Part of the problem was that a single governor couldn't effectively manage a colony as large as Carolina, especially with major settlements like Charles Town (modern-day Charleston), Cape Fear, and Albemarle situated so far apart from each other.  Additionally, the treacherous coastline in North Carolina made transportation difficult for ships compared to places like Charles Town, which was more easily accessible for trade and settlement. 

It was clear both areas needed more rulers to manage the growing geographical distinctions.  In 1691, the Proprietors added a deputy governor to the colony's northern region to aid the governor, and by 1712, North Carolina and South Carolina were officially separated.  

We take a look at a video about the split of Carolina Colony into 2 colonies and then states!
