The Carolina colonies were founded in the 17th century by English settlers. The region was initially granted to eight Lords Proprietors by King Charles II in 1663, who sought to establish a profitable colony. The northern part, known as North Carolina, was primarily settled by farmers and small landholders, while the southern part, South Carolina, attracted wealthier planters and was developed for cash crops like rice and indigo.
