•The Province of Carolina,
•originally chartered in 1629,
• was an English and later
British colony of North America.

•Because the original Heath
charter was unrealized and was
ruled invalid, a new charter was
issued to a group of eight
English noblemen, the Lords
Proprietors, on March 24, 1663

•Led informally by Anthony
Ashley-Cooper,1st Earl of
Shaftesbury,

•the Province of Carolina was
controlled from 1663 to 1729 by
these lords and their heirs.

•In 1691, dissent over the governance of
the province led to the appointment of a
deputy governor to administer the
northern half of Carolina.

•The division between the northern and
southern governments became complete
in 1712, but both colonies remained in the
hands of the same group of proprietors.

•A rebellion against the proprietors broke
out in 1719 which led to the appointment
of a royal governor for South Carolina in
1720.

•After nearly a decade in which the
British government sought to locate and
buy out the proprietors, both North and
South Carolina became royal colonies in
1729.
