North Carolina During Colonial America And The Early Republic
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. North Carolina's first wave of permanent English settlers came in the form of southeastern Virginia immigrants, whose relationship to the tidewater area helped label them as 'overflow' settlers. Their final destination at mid-century came to be a northeastern part of North Carolina known as Albemarle. Thirteen years later, eight Englishmen were granted a charter to North Carolina -- which has "received considerably less scholarly attention than have other mainland southern colonies of British North America" (Ambrose 229) – for aiding Charles II re-establish his place on the throne. At the crux of this charter reside the tenets of territorial dominion that clearly and ever so distinctly laid out the coordinates so that no one – absolutely no one – could be mistaken of just how much territory was involved.
