	The Carolina Colony
		In 1704 an act that would have required members of the colonial assembly to adhere to the rites of the Church of England was defeated.
		Political strife and Indian wars slowed the Carolina Colony's growth, however, and as "Charles Town" grew more rapidly, the territory began to be known as North and South Carolina.
		Despite its leadership in the Revolution, NORTH CAROLINA was the next to last of the 13 original states to ratify the federal Constitution (November 1789).

	Colonial North Carolina
		The first settlements in North Carolina that were destined to live were made by Virginians in 1653, on the banks of the Chowan and Roanoke rivers, in a district called Albemarle from the Duke of Albemarle.
		After 1704, however, North Carolina was again in turmoil, the causes being bad governors and continued attempts to establish the Church of England at the expense of the Dissenters, more than half of whom were Quakers.
		Of all the thirteen colonies, North Carolina was the least commercial, the most provincial, the farthest removed from European influences, and its wild forest life the most unrestrained.

		In consequence of this event, and the little prosperity of the colony, chiefly arising from the barrenness of its soil, the inhabitants of this later settlement, within a few years, removed to that of Charleston, and the three governments, consequently, were reduced to two.
		In consequence of this rash and unfortunate enterprise, the colony was loaded with a debt of nearly thirty thousand dollars, which gave rise to the first paper currency in Carolina, and was the means of filling the colony with dissension and tumult.
		In 1719, the people of Carolina, having been long disgusted with the management of the proprietors, were resolved, at all hazards, to execute their own laws, and defend the rights of the province.

	North Carolina Collection-Carolina Elephant Token
		Although some specimens of the Carolina token and of other types of “elephant tokens” found their way to North America, likely nestled among the possessions of English immigrants, there is no evidence that the pieces were ever intended for widespread commercial use or employed on this continent for purchases of prescribed goods or services.
		With regard to the Carolina tokens' production, their physical properties and circumstantial evidence indicate that they were struck during the latter half of 1694 at the Royal Mint, which operated behind the high stone walls of the Tower of London.
		Carolina tokens, depending on their condition and whether they are of the “ER” or “OR” variety, usually fall in between the New England and London types with respect to their rarity ratings and market values.
