TheProvince of Carolina was a colony of theKingdom of England (1663–1707) and later theKingdom of Great Britain (1707–1712) that existed in North America from 1663 until the Carolinas were partitioned intoNorth andSouth in 1712. However, the two parts did not become separate and administrativeroyal colonies until 1729.

The original North American Carolina province of 1663 consisted of all or parts of present-day Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.^[2]

Etymology

[edit]

"Carolina" is taken from theLatin word for "Charles" (Carolus), honoring KingCharles I.^[3]

First patents and settlements

[edit]

On October 30, 1629, KingCharles I of England granted a patent to SirRobert Heath for the lands south of36 degrees and north of31 degrees, "under the name, in honor of that king, ofCarolana."^[4]^[5]Heath wanted the land for FrenchHuguenots, but when Charles restricted use of the land to members of theChurch of England, Heath assigned his grant to George, Lord Berkeley.^[6]King Charles I was executed in 1649 and Heath fled to France where he died. Following the 1660restoration of the monarchy, Robert Heath's heirs attempted to reassert their claim to the land, butCharles II ruled the claim invalid.

Although theLost Colony onRoanoke Island was the first English attempt at settlement in the Carolina territory, the first permanent English settlement was not established until the 1653Albemarle Settlement, when emigrants from theVirginia Colony, with others fromNew England andBermuda, settled at the mouths of theChowan andRoanoke Rivers, on the shores ofAlbemarle Sound, in the northeastern corner of present-day North Carolina.

Within three generations ofColumbus, the Spanish from their Florida base had started to emigrate up the coast of modern North Carolina. A Virginia tribe defending their resources and families drove them back to Georgia.^{[citation needed]} A Scottish contingent had meanwhile settled in South Carolina only to be extirpated by the Spanish, who inhabitedParris Island as late as 1655. The Spanish were again beaten back to Georgia.^[7]

1663 Charter

[edit]

Lords Proprietors

[edit]

On March 24, 1663, Charles II issued a new charter to a group of eight English noblemen, granting them the land of Carolina as a reward for their faithful support of his efforts to regain the throne of England. The eight were calledLords Proprietors or simplyProprietors.^[8]

The 1663 charter granted the Lords Proprietor title to all of the land from the southern border of theVirginia Colony at36 degrees north to31 degrees north; this included all the land between these northerly and southerly bounds from theAtlantic westward to the shores of thePacific Ocean.^[9]The King intended for the newly created province to serve as an English bulwark to contest lands claimed bySpanish Florida andprevent their northward expansion.^[10]^[11]

The Lords Proprietors named in the charter were:

Of the eight, the one who demonstrated the most active interest in Carolina was Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury. Shaftesbury, with the assistance of his secretary, the philosopherJohn Locke, drafted theGrand Model for the Province of Carolina (which included theFundamental Constitutions of Carolina), a plan for government of the colony heavily influenced by the ideas andutopian aspirations of English political scientistJames Harrington. Some of the other Lords Proprietors also had interests in other colonies: for instance, John Berkeley and George Carteret held stakes in theProvince of New Jersey, and William Berkeley had an interest inVirginia.

The Lords Proprietors, operating under their royal charter, exercised their authority with nearly the independence of the king himself. The colony's government consisted of a governor, a powerful council, on which half of the councilors were appointed by the Lords Proprietors themselves, and a relatively weak, popularly elected assembly.

In 1665, the charter was revised slightly (seeRoyal Colonial Boundary of 1665), with the northerly boundary extended to36 degrees 30 minutes north to include the lands of settlers along theAlbemarle Sound who had left theVirginia Colony. Likewise, the southern boundary was moved south to29 degrees north, just south of present-dayDaytona Beach, Florida, which had the effect of including the existingSpanish settlement atSt. Augustine.^[12]

Settlements

[edit]

In 1663, Captain William Hilton noted the presence of a wooden cross erected by the Spaniards that still stood before the town meeting house of the Indians living at what later becamePort Royal.^[13] In 1665, SirJohn Yeamans established a second short-lived English settlement on theCape Fear River, near present-dayWilmington, North Carolina, which he named Clarendon. From 1675 to 1677, the Province andChowanoc Nativesfought.

In 1669,William Sayle of Bermuda had taken over the command of the party of settlers gathered in Bermuda after SirJohn Yeamans resigned while undergoing repairs of his vessel in Bermuda. Most of the party was made up of emigrants from England who had arrived in Bermuda en route to the establishment of the settlement in the Carolinas. Sayle arrived in Carolina aboard aBermuda sloop with a number of Bermudian families to found the town of Charlestown.

In early 1670 the Lords Proprietors founded a sturdier new settlement named Charles Town (present dayCharleston) when they sent 150 colonists to the province, landing them on the south bank of the Ashley River, South Carolina. (The town moved across the river to a more defensible site on the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers in 1680.

In 1670, William Sayle, then in his eighties, became the firstColonial Governor of the colony of Carolina.^[14]^[15] Many of the other colonists were planters fromBarbados.^[16]

The "Charles Town" settlement, as it was known then, developed more rapidly than the Albemarle and Cape Fear settlements due to the advantages of a natural harbor and expanding trade with theWest Indies. Charles Town was made the principal seat of government for the entire province; Lord Shaftesbury specified its street plan. The nearbyAshley andCooper rivers are named for him.

Due to their remoteness from each other, the northern and southern sections of the colony operated more or less independently until 1691, whenPhilip Ludwell was appointed governor of the entire province. From that time until 1708, the northern and southern settlements remained under one government. The north continued to have its own assembly and council; the governor resided in Charles Towne and appointed a deputy-governor for the north. During this period, the two halves of the province began increasingly to be known as North Carolina and South Carolina.

Government

[edit]

In 1669, theFundamental Constitutions of Carolina divided the colony of Carolina into two provinces, Albemarle province in the north and Clarendon province in the south.^[17] Due to dissent over the governance of the colony, and the distance between settlements in the northern half and settlements in the southern half, a deputy governor was appointed to administer the northern half of Carolina (Albemarle province) in 1691.^[18] In 1712, the two provinces became separate colonies, the colony of North Carolina (formerly Albemarle province) and the colony of South Carolina (formerly Clarendon province).^[19]

Carolina was the first of three colonies in North America settled by the English to have a comprehensive plan. Known as theGrand Model, or Grand Modell, it was composed of a constitution and detailed guidelines for settlement and development. The constitution, titledFundamental Constitutions of Carolina, was drafted by the philosopher John Locke under the direction of Anthony Ashley Cooper (later madeEarl of Shaftesbury).^[20]

From 1708 to 1710, due to disquiet over attempts to establish the Anglican church in the province, the people were unable to agree on a slate of elected officials; consequently, there was no recognized and legal government for more than two years, a period which culminated inCary's Rebellion when the Lords Proprietors finally commissioned a new governor. This circumstance, coupled with theTuscarora War and theYamasee War, and the inability of the Lords Proprietors to act decisively, led to separate governments for North and South Carolina.

Later years

[edit]

Some identify the 1708–1710 period as the establishment of separate colonies, but that did not officially occur until 1729 when seven of the Lords Proprietors sold their interests in Carolina tothe Crown, and both North Carolina and South Carolina became royal colonies. The eighth share was Sir George Carteret's, which had passed to his great-grandsonJohn Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville. He retained ownership of a sixty-mile-wide strip of land in North Carolina adjoining the Virginia boundary, which became known as theGranville District. This district was to become the scene of many disputes, from 1729 until theAmerican Revolutionary War, at which time it was seized by the North Carolina revolutionary government. Governments under proprietary rule and under crown rule were similarly organized. The primary difference was who was to appoint the governing officials: the Lords Proprietors or the Sovereign.

Although the division between the northern and southern governments became complete in 1712, both colonies remained in the hands of the same group of proprietors. A rebellion against the proprietors broke out in Charlestown, South Carolina (as it was now spelled) in 1719, which led to the appointment of aroyal governor for South Carolina in that same year. North Carolina would become a royal colony in 1729.^[21]

Notes

[edit]

^There was no authorized version of the national anthem as the words were a matter of tradition; only the first verse was usually sung.^[1] No statute had been enacted designating "God Save the King" as the official anthem. In the English tradition, such laws are not necessary;proclamation and usage are sufficient to make it the national anthem. "God Save the King" also served as theRoyal anthem for certainroyal colonies. The wordsKing, he, him, his were replaced byQueen, she, her when the monarch was female.
