These are called naval stores. • King Charles I granted Carolana to Sir Robert Heath, his attorney general, insisting that he attract new settlers to the area.

  8. Carolina Colony • Carolina colony was split into 3 counties. • Albemarle • Clarendon • Craven • Albemarle already had settlers but did not grow quickly. • Clarendon was around Wilmington and was not successful in its early years. • Craven was present day SC, and was not settled until 1670.

  9. Carolina Colony • Government in Albemarle was led by a governor who was appointed by the LPs and worked to please them and had most of the power. • There was also an Assembly that was elected by the land-owning men of the county. • The Assembly set the governor’s salary but had little power.

  10. Carolina Colony • There was also a Council (appointed by LPs) that became the “upper house” of the government. • The Assembly became the “lower house” of the gov’t. • The Governor was acting as the head one in charge. • These groups resemble today’s US president & Legislative branch. • Quitrent = land tax to help pay the governors and those setting the rules.

  11. Carolina Colony • The LPs set up a party (prerogative party) that they believed would best serve the colony without the people’s input. • People against this group, popular party, were in favor of the people’s vote and were mostly made up of settlers who were there before the LPs took over. • Boundary lines – page 106
