Describe the settlements in the Carolinas. What were the differences between the Carolinas and the Chesapeake?

In the seventeenth century there were essentially two major settlements in the Carolinas, which were granted by King Charles II to a group of eight noblemen known as the "Lords Proprietors" between 1663 and 1665. In the beginning, there was actually no North and South Carolina—the colony was simply known as "Carolina." The two settlements mentioned earlier were Charles Town in the modern South Carolina Low Country and the Albemarle region in northeastern North Carolina. Charles Town has been described as a "colony of a colony" because it was founded by settlers from the sugar island of Barbados. These settlers came because of land pressure on that small island, and, finding the region unsuitable for sugar cultivation, they began to trade in Indian slaves, which they sent to Barbados and other places throughout the British colonies. This trade was eventually replaced as a major source of income by rice, which was grown on massive plantations throughout the Low Country. South Carolina planters imported African slaves to cultivate the plant, and so, to an even greater degree than the Chesapeake, South Carolina became a slave society. As for early North Carolina, the first settlers in the Albemarle region were from Virginia. Most were religious dissenters and former indentured servants who sought to escape the increasingly stratified society in Virginia. Over time, more settlers came, even settling further west and southward, in modern-day New Bern. Conflict with Native peoples led to the Tuscarora War, which opened the interior for settlement in the second decade of the eighteenth century, but the colony really only took off in terms of population with the settlement of thousands of Scots-Irish people and Germans from Pennsylvania and Virginia. Over time, the northeast of North Carolina came to resemble the Chesapeake, with planters cultivating tobacco with slave labor. The area around Wilmington resembled the Low Country, with some rice plantations along with indigo, "Sea Island" cotton, and naval stores. Overall, North Carolina's plantation economy, along with the social stratification that accompanied it in South Carolina and Virginia, remained only modestly developed in the years leading up to the Revolution.
