Description
Excerpt from The History of South Carolina Under the Royal Government, 1719-1776
The revolution left the territory of the province of Carolina, as originally formed, in an anomalous condition. The settlement of the vatst domain granted to the Proprie tors by the charter of Charles II in 1665 had been ulti mately carried on with some success from two points, to wit, Albemarle and Charles Town the attempts at Cape Fear and Edisto having failed. While there had been no formal division of the domain into distinct territories, these settlements at the two points had at first distinct govern ments and the northern portion had gradually acquired the informal designation of North Carolina; the southern that of South Carolina. In 1691 the policy had been attempted of consolidating the two settlements or colonies under one government for the whole province with Colonel Philip Ludwell as Governor, but it had not succeeded.
