Colonies were independent areas of Great Britain. They were united under Great Britain until 1776. There were 13 original colonies because France, Spain, Russia, and Mexico owned the other parts of what would later be called The United States Of America. Great Britain sent people over to the east coast to develop colonies to raise food and tobacco for sale to Great Britain.

Santo Domingo may be the capital of the Dominican Republic and the oldest European town in the Americas and in the event that you want to see one of many UNESCO World Heritage List then, that hotelbye is the place. Santo Domingo is really a collection of cultures and neighborhoods. It's where in fact the seems of living, domino parts slapped on platforms, backfiring mufflers and horns from severe traffic. In one's heart of the town is the Zona Colonial, wherever you'll find one of the oldest churches and the oldest remaining European. Also, in the Zona Colonial you will discover Gazcue, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, filled with previous Victorian properties and tree-lined streets.

North Carolina and South Carolina were twin-born. Though settled at different times by different peoples, both were included in the famous charter of 1663, both were intended to be governed by the Grand Model, and as they were not separated politically until 1729, their histories run parallel for many years, and much that we have said of the one will apply to her twin sister to the south.1

It was the shores of South Carolina that Ribault, under the direction of the great Coligny, had attempted to settle with a colony of Frenchmen, but failed, and now, after a hundred years had passed, it was left for the English to lay the permanent foundations for a commonwealth. The first English settlement was made in 1670, when William Sayle sailed up the Ashley River with three shiploads of English emigrants from the Barbados, and they pitched their tents on its banks and built a town, which has since wholly disappeared. In 1671, Sir John Yeamans, whom we have met in North Carolina, joined the colony, bringing with him about two hundred African slaves, and ere this year had closed two ships bearing Dutch emigrants arrived from New York. Ten years after the first settlers arrived, a more favorable site for the chief town being desired, a point between the Cooper and Ashley riverts was chose, and here Charleston was founded in 1680.Popular government found a footing in South Carolina from the first. Scarcely had the first immigrants landed when a popular assembly began to frame laws on the basis of libery. Sayle was their leader and first governor, but he soon died and was succeeded by Yeamans, who ruled for four years, when he was dismissed for having enriched himself at the expense of the people. Yeamans was followed by John West, an able and honorable man, who held the office for nine years. In 1690 the notorious Sothel, who had been driven from North Carolina, came to South Carolina, usurped the government, and began his career of plunder; but the people soon rose against him and he was forced to flee. After this, several of the governors were common to both North and South Carolina.

No attempt was made during the early years of the colony to introduce the Fundamental Constitutions; but when, about 1687, a vigorous effort was made to do so, the people resisted it, basing their rights on the clause in the charter which conferred the right of making laws on the proprietors only "by and with the advice, assent, and approbation of the freemen." The people were determined in their resistance; they refused to be trampled by the heel of tyranny; their very breath had been the pure air of liberty. The contest covered several years, and the people won. That abortive "model" of government was at last set aside and no attempt was ever again made to enforce it in America

Answer 6

The Province of North Carolina was originally part of the Province of Carolina, which was chartered by eight Lords Proprietors. The province later became the U.S. state of North Carolina. The province's name is likely named for Charles I of England, as was the case with Province of Carolina.

First settlement of the North Carolina Colony was in 1653, Charles II of England granted the Carolina charter in 1663 for lands south of Virginia Colony and north of Spanish Florida. The Carolinas were divided into North and South by 1729, when seven of the eight Lords Proprietors sold out (rendering Carolina a crown colony). The remaining one-eighth share of the Province (part of North Carolina known as the Granville District) was retained by members of the Carteret family until 1776; see John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville. Two important maps of the province were produced: one by Edward Moseley in 1733, and another by John Collet in 1770. Many of the settlers of the North Carolina colony were poor tobacco farmers who made their living off this single cash crop. In South Carolina, the farmer's planatations were much larger and the settlers grew rice, which was a very profitable crop. Also, South Carolinians grew indigo, which was a plant used to make a valuable blue dye for clothing and threads.

First European settlement – 1526
Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon (c. 1475-1526) of Spain established San Miguel de Gualdape, probably near present-day Georgetown, but possibly further south. The settlement failed within a year due to famine, disease, and unrest in the black and American Indian populations ... leaving only 150 of the original 600 settlers to return to Santo Domingo.
----------ref 3---------- below
The Barbadian colonists greatly influenced Carolina culture well into the 21st century. They brought a social system rooted in European feudalism and slave-based sugar plantation industry. They brought African slaves, whose experience growing rice in West Africa helped in establishing the crop as one of South Carolina's first cash crops. In 1663 they sent William Hilton sailing along the Carolina coast to look for a good place for settlement, but nothing came of the voyage except for the discovery and naming of Hilton Head Island. In North Carolina a short-lived colony was established near the mouth of the Cape Fear River. A ship was sent southward to explore the Port Royal area, where the French had established the short-lived Charlesfort post and the Spanish had built Santa Elena, the capital of Spanish Florida from 1566 to 1587, when it was abandoned. Captain Robert Sanford made a visit with the friendly Edisto Indians. When the ship departed to return to Cape Fear, Dr. Henry Woodward stayed behind to study the interior and native languages.

In August 1669, the first three ships, called Carolina, Port Royal, and Albemarle sailed from England to Barbados. The third of the forementioned ships sank off the coast of Barbados. They grabbed the supplies the Lords Proprietors had prescribed, replaced the Albemarle with Three Brothers, and set sail again. The ships were separated in a thunderstorm shortly afterward, and Port Royal was drifting lost for six weeks. It ran out of drinking water in the process before wrecking in the Bahamas. Forty-four people made it to the shore, but many of them died before the captain was able to build a new ship to get them to the closest settlement. With the new ship, they reached New Providence and bought a new boat that would take them to Bermuda, where they were reunited with the Carolina.

In Bermuda, an 80-year-old Puritan Bermudian colonist, Colonel William Sayle, was named governor of Carolina. On March 15, 1670, under Sayle, they finally reached Port Royal. According to the account of one passenger, the Indians were friendly, made signs toward where they should best land, and spoke broken Spanish. Spain still considered Carolina to be its land; the main Spanish base, St. Augustine, wasn't far away, and the Spanish missionary provinces of Guale and Mocama occupied the coast south of the Savannah River and Port Royal. Though the Edisto Indians were not happy to have the English settle there permanently, the chief of the Kiawah Indians, who lived farther north along the coast, arrived to invite the English to settle among his people and protect them from the Westo tribe, slave-raiding allies of Virginia.

The sailors agreed and sailed for the region now called West Ashlee. When they landed in early April at Albemarle Point on the shores of Ashlee, they founded Charles Town, in honor of their king. On May 23, Three Brothers arrived in Charles Town Bay without 11 or 12 passengers who had gone for water and supplies at St. Catherines Island, and had run into Indians allied with the Spanish. St. Catherines Island was the capital of Spanish Florida's Guale province. Of the hundreds of people who had sailed from England or Barbados, only 148 people, including three African slaves, lived to arrive at Charles Town Landing.
