Detailed explanation-1: -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. Each prospered in its own right after this peaceful divorce took effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1712, North and South Carolina were officially divided. The English government, though, was unhappy with its proprietary colonies.
Detailed explanation-3: -On July 25, 1729, North Carolina became a royal colony when the Lords Proprietors sold the colony to King George II. South Carolina had become a royal colony 10 years earlier, setting the stage for North Carolina to follow suit.
