How North Carolina and South Carolina were formed?

Formation of North Carolina and South Carolina

Answer: The South Carolina and North Carolina colonies originally were part of one colony called the Carolina Colony. The colony was set up as a proprietary settlement and governed by a group known as Carolina's Lord's Proprietors. But unrest with the native population and fear of slave rebellion led white settlers to seek protection from the English crown. The proprietors of the colony wanted to offer large land holdings to a small number of settlers. Settlers in the northern part grew tobacco, while the settler in the Southern part of the colony grew rice. The parts of the colony grew apart and finally, in 1712 they separated and became North and South Carolina.
