Starting in Europe was the first actual settlement for North Carolina. This was established in Albemarle, around 1653. During 1663 somebody by the name of Charles gave 8 people acknowledgment allowing them to the “lords proprietors” of Carolina. This ended up dividing Carolina into 3 sections. Albemarle was in the North with a smaller settlement, while then there was Cape Fear, and lastly Craven, as we know as South Carolina. The Albemarle area in 1691 was named North Carolina and became a separate colony in 1712. The settlers here were isolated from all the other colonies. The colony was living off of farms, corn, and livestock. In the late 17th and early 18th century there started to be many conflicts. The Culrepe’s Rebellion, The Cary Rebellion, The Tuscarora War, Blackbeard the pirate, and the Regulator Movement. Some of my favorites to talk about are Blackbeard the pirate and how fierce he was on the water. Legend says that he carried himself in a way that everybody was scared of him and he was a force to be wrecked with.

    Like most of the conflicts of that time, it was about politics and religion. In the book, The North Carolina Experience, Lindley writes “In the eighteenth century, however, the proprietors were faced with the renewed chaos during the Cary Rebellion, another internal power struggle between political/religious factions, which resulted in the permanent removal of the Quakers from participation in the government.” The conflict surrounding Cary’s Rebellion was very similar to that of Gibb’s rebellion. Both struggles dealt with issues concerning the leadership of the state, one man trying to overthrow another in order to be governor of the state.…

    Many colonies developed along the coast of America, however, the earliest and perhaps most influential by the English were Virginia (notably the Chesapeake area) and New England (with Massachusetts the hearth of society). They shared many characteristics such as desiring the rights of Englishmen which entails struggles with their homeland. However, there were stark differences by their lifestyles through the Chesapeake’s landownership and New England’s church based politics, the social ideals of the Chesapeake’s harshness and New England’s peace, and the racism of the Chesapeake’s population and New England’s lack of racism. These ultimately caused them to drift apart culturally and eventually become part of the basis of the struggle to unite,…
