7. A Little More About that Southern Colony…CAROLINA
On March 24, 1663 the British government, led by King Charles II, issued a charter to Eight Lords Proprietors for the land south of Virginia to Florida
The charter gave them almost unlimited power over the land.

8. 8 Lords Proprietors
There were 8 lords to start- many sold their shares to others or lost interest in Carolina.
The man who saved the Colony was Anthony Ashley Cooper – he became the leader of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina.

9. In 1669, 100 settlers arrived in the port of Charles Town (today’s Charleston).
They moved up the Ashley River to Albemarle Point.

10. Why Choose Charles Town?
It was on the Atlantic Coast making it easy for European settlers to arrive there by ship.
Easy trade = easy $$$.

11. Non-fiction Writing:

12. Settlers who paid their own way to America received large land grants known as headrights, which became plantations.
In the 1690’s & 1700’s, rice production became the primary income for SC - “Carolina Gold”
Unfortunately, rice was a very high labor intensive crop to produce.

13. Labor Problems Indentured Servants
-worked to pay off their passage to America
After 7 years, they gained their freedom.
75% of the population arrived as indentured servants.
BUT there were not enough servants to work plantations; Native American slaves died off or ran away so…African slaves were brought from Barbados and West Africa.

14. So overall…Who were all these Settlers coming to Carolina?
At first, Englishmen from England and British colonies in Barbados (Caribbean)
Then, settlers from: France, Ireland, Germany and Scotland with diverse religious backgrounds
Slaves from Barbados / Africa

15. Just to clarify: English / British

17. Keeping Safe in Carolina…???
England was at war with Spain in 1702 so they paid little attention to protecting their colonists in America.
One complaint from the Carolina colonists was the Lord Proprietors did not offer enough protection from Native Americans, possible Spanish invaders and
pirates > Fear increases…

18. Pirates Britain vs. Spain – War!
British captains had permission from their British government to seize Spanish ships.
British captains were Privateers- privately owned hired to attack enemy ships.
Spanish ships were seized and sold - profits were shared among Privateers and their British government.
Privateers got greedy and turned into Pirates – a robber of ships at sea.

What? _______________
The King makes a BIG change:
_______________________________________

20. The Breakup: Proprietors argued about solutions (rich guys can’t get along). - The Lords Proprietors had a falling out and it led to North Carolina and South Carolina!!!

22. English colonists DEMANDED their King step in and change things…they wanted protection and the Lords Proprietors were NOT protecting them from enemies!
So the King made a decision to change Carolina from a Proprietary Colony into a Royal Colony in 1719.

23. How was the royal colony run?
The King was King George the I and then the II- they were more interested in ruling their own countries than the Colonies.
So they allowed a group in Parliament make all the royal decisions about the colonies.
The Parliament appointed Royal Governors to the colonies that reported back to them.
Each Royal Governor had no set term and could veto any law passed by the Assembly. He also named colonial officials and commanded the militia.
Basically the people of the colonies had wanted more protection (which they kinda received), but were losing their rights to make any decisions for themselves!!!

32. Township Plan Problems in SC: - Treasury empty…No $$$ 
-Planters / merchants were upset because there were more slaves than whites in colony
*Scared of revolts
-Natives, Spanish, Pirates – still scary
Royal Governor proposed the Township Plan: Province (Town Center) surrounded by townships (land) of 20,00 acres each.
The Township Plan would increase people in an area, establish local government, courts and law enforcement = More settlers =
More safety.

33. Township Plan New Settlers coming to SC Would get:
Free transportation from Charles town to the townships
Farm tools
Food for a year
Grants of land and a town lot
More Safety!

34. MERCANTILISM Draw in ISN
BRITAIN S.CAROLINA

2. A nation should allow its colonies to trade with numerous foreign nations.
3. A nation should have colonies to help it get more natural resources and money.
4. A nation should not have colonies because all men are equal.

36. Now that we’ve talked SC expansion and economy, it’s time to find out what / who drives the South Carolina economy…

37. Settlers who paid their own way to America received large land grants known as headrights, which became plantations.
In the 1690’s & 1700’s, rice production became the primary income for SC - “Carolina Gold”
Unfortunately, rice was a very high labor intensive crop to produce.

38. Labor Problems Indentured Servants
-worked to pay off their passage to America
After 7 years, they gained their freedom.
75% of the population arrived as indentured servants.
BUT there were not enough servants to work plantations; Native American slaves died off or ran away so…African slaves were brought from Barbados and West Africa.

39. So overall…Who were all these Settlers coming to Carolina?

42. Directions: Create a timeline and place the following ten events in order (include year / general time period on timeline next to event). Use Reading for information.
Free Blacks begin leaving SC in large numbers
Slaves form Gullah culture in SC

Middle Passage Begins
Slaves outnumbered Whites in Lowcountry
SC Tidal rivers make growing rice possible
SC Colonial government gave slave-owners the right to free their own slaves
Europeans used Natives as slaves
British begin bringing slaves from Barbados
Slave Codes / Negro Act made law

43. Back Country Vs Low Country
Because of the Township Plan, more people moved to the Backcountry. They started realizing they were NOT treated fairly!
The Backcountry people paid the SAME TAXES as the Lowcountry people, despite the $wealth$ in the Low country.
Backcountry settlers had NO representation in the Commons House.
AND, Backcountry had no law
enforcement (Sheriff) and no
court system – in Charleston.

44. Back Country Vs Low Country
So…if Natives attacked, the Back country would be the first to be hit…
And because of no law enforcement, many Backcountry newcomers
were drifters .- not settlers.
Basically the Backcountry got
more crowded with horse thieves
and robbers.
The SC Royal Governor gave
little help to the Backcountry.

45. Regulator Movement
Since Backcountry residents got NO HELP from their colonial government, in the 1760s, between Backcountry settlers banded together to stop outlaws.
These Regulators formed to stop outlaws from raiding their land.
Their purpose: End crime and disorder in the area (law and order) and establish control of the government.
By the end of the summer, the Regulators had killed a number of outlaws.

46. The Regulator Movement:

47. Districts:
SC Government freaked out and decided to make more changes in Backcountry.
Commons House passed the Circuit Court Act in April 1768
The colony was split into 7 circuit court districts
A sheriff was appointed to each district

48. This did not end the bad feelings between the Backcountry and Lowcountry, but it did pacify things for a time.
