VOA Special English: The making of a nation- Slavery Arrives as Colonial Expansion Heads South
http://www.manythings.org/voa/history/7.html
"History experts say that the area that became North Carolina may have been the most democratic of all the colonies. The people generally did not get involved in each other’s lives. They permitted each other to live in peace. They faced danger together from pirates who made the North Carolina coast their headquarters."
"Experts say the people in northern Carolina were independent thinkers. In 1677, some of them rebelled against England. They did not like England's Navigation Acts. These laws forced people in Carolina to pay taxes to England on goods sold to other colonies. Some northern Carolina settlers refused to pay this tax. They even set up their own government and tried to break free of England. But the English soldiers in the colonies stopped the rebellion by arresting its leader."
"The differences between the people of northern Carolina and southern Carolina became too great. The owners of the colony divided Carolina into two parts in 1612."
