USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Southern Colonies within British America consisted of the Province of Maryland, the Colony of Virginia, the Province of Carolina (in 1712 split into North and South Carolina), and the Province of Georgia .

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -1712/May-The Carolina colony is officially divided into North Carolina and South Carolina. The North Carolina Manual of 1945 asserts that the colony was divided on December 7, 1710, and Edward Hyde became the first governor of North Carolina on May 12, 1712.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1712, the two provinces became separate colonies, the colony of North Carolina (formerly Albemarle province) and the colony of South Carolina (formerly Clarendon province). Carolina was the first of three colonies in North America settled by the English to have a comprehensive plan.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
