Detailed explanation-1: -Northern Carolina, like Rhode Island in the North, drew the region’s discontented masses. As the two locales evolved separately and as their differing geographies and inhabitants steered contrasting courses, calls for a formal split emerged. In 1712, North Carolina and South Carolina became distinct colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distance between the two North Carolina settlements and South Carolina’s Charles Town caused the Lords Proprietors decide to split the two areas. In 1712, there was officially one governor for all of Carolina, but an additional deputy governor for the north, creating North and South Carolina.
Detailed explanation-3: -North Carolinians were small tobacco farmers, not plantation builders. South Carolinians developed a low-country agricultural system that relied upon slave labor to grow and export rice, cotton, and indigo. Small farmers and frontiersmen grew angry at the political and economic power held by coastal planters.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1691, the Proprietors appointed a governor for all of Carolina and a deputy governor for its northern half, and this arrangement provided better administration. In 1712, North and South Carolina were officially divided.
Detailed explanation-5: -When did Carolina officially split into North and South and why? 1712 because they had started to develop differently (needed a more effective government in the northern part of the colony). They decided to appoint a governor independent of South Carolina’s governror.
