86. North and South Carolina
The Carolina proprietors and their colonists had never got on wel together . They now got on worse than ever . The greater part of the colonists were not members of the Established Church ; but the proprietors tried to take away the right to vote from all persons who were not of that faith . They also interfered in elections , and tried to prevent the formation of a true representa - tive assembly . They could not protect the people against the pirates who blockaded Charleston for weeks at a time . In 1719 the people of Charleston rebeled . The king then interfered , and appointed a royal governor . Later he bought out the rights of the proprietors . In this way Carolina became a royal province . It was soon divided into two prov - inces , North Carolina and South Carolina . But there had always been two separate colonies in Carolina
