Detailed explanation-1: -Carolina began as a proprietary colony when the land and political control over the land was granted to the eight Lords Proprietors by the king. In order to attract more settlers the proprietors began to share some of the political control of the colony with property owners.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1719, South Carolina, which had more resources than North Carolina and was therefore more valuable to England, was taken back from the Proprietors and made a royal colony .
Detailed explanation-3: -The South Carolina Colony was founded by the British in 1663 and was one of the 13 original colonies. It was founded by eight nobles with a Royal Charter from King Charles II and was part of the group of Southern Colonies, along with North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and Maryland.
