	Province of Carolina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Province of Carolina from 1663 to 1729, was a North American British colony.
		Dissent over governance of the province led to a division between North and South in 1710, but it was not until 1729 that the Province of Carolina was officially divided into the Provinces of North and South Carolina.
		The 1663 charter granted the Lords Proprietor title to all of the land from the southern border of the Virginia Colony from 36 degrees north to 31 degrees north (along the coast of present-day Georgia).

	The North Carolina Militia
		In 1756 British assigned a quota of 1000 men to be raised in North Carolina as a part of 30,000 man force the English hoped to raise in the colonies to join with the British troops in an invasion of Canada.
		Until 1868 each North Carolina county was divided into one or more militia districts, with each unit being commanded by a captain, who was usually a county official, such as deputy sheriff or justice of the peace.
		The minutemen of North Carolina were soon to demonstrate the same prowess with their rifled arms that the British observed with other colonial militias and units of the Continental Line which had been recruited from among backwoods militias.

	The History of the Carolinas
		The most interesting feature attending the colonization of the province of Carolina, however, was the remarkable system of government devised, at the request of the proprietaries, by the celebrated English philosopher John Locke.
		As it was to be expected that a great and fertile province would become the residence of a numerous and powerful body of people, the lords proprietors thought fit in the infant state of these colonies to establish a permanent form of government.
		It was a government of theory, not the result of a natural growth, as all persistent government must be, and was utterly unsuited to the conditions of a thinly-settled colony inhabiting a wilderness and composed of persons little disposed to submit to regulations more aristocratic than those from which they had emigrated.

	A Map of the Province of South Carolina. / Cook, James / 1773
		Note: The maker of this map, James Cook, surveyor of South Carolina and former marine surveyor, is not to be confused with the Pacific explorer, Captain James Cook.
		In 1770, James Cook was commissioned by the South Carolina provincial government to make a new survey of the entire province and publish a map, which he completed in 1773.
		Cummings refers to the map as "the most detailed and accurate printed map of South Carolina, especially for the interior, yet to appear" and further states that "very few copies of this fine map are extant." It provided much of the detail for the later maps by Henry Mouzon and John Stuart.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 375, NORTH CAROLINA: Library of Economics and Liberty
		—March 1, 1669, a code of "fundamental constitutions" for the province was drawn up by the proprietors; its authorship is attributed to John Locke, the philosopher, but it was long supposed to be one of the vagaries of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, afterward earl of Shaftesbury, to whom Locke was secretary.
		She had few ties of sympathy or interest with even the nearest states, Virginia and South Carolina; she had laid the foundation of a navy; she had issued her own paper money extensively; and had developed many of the characteristics of a separate nationality.
		Her first convention, therefore, refused to ratify the constitution, unless twenty-six specified amendments should be added to it, the most essential one being a prohibition against interference by congress or the federal judiciary with state paper money already in circulation.

	Salley, The Introduction of Rice Culture into South Carolina
		Columbia, S. The present State of South Carolina was formerly a part of the territory granted by Charles II, March 20, 1663, to eight of his supporters, as the province of Carolina.
		The explanation of the error is that it took nine or ten years after the starting of the industry to learn the proper methods of cultivating and preparing it for export, instead of nine or ten years after the receipt of the Dubois seed.
		But whether the province may have acquired it by a shipwreck, or whether it may have been carried there with slaves, or whether it be sent from England, it is certain that the soil is favourable for it.
