South Carolina in assessment to three colonies have been time-honored for its super eduction. the wealthy soil made the land good for transforming into vegetation. they did no longer have a mosquito difficulty like Jamestown. the clean waters made it a stable water resource too. swampy land is the perfect land to have. South Carolina grew to become into no longer a place for citizen to pay decrease back the funds they owe thats Georgia.

The right to settle there was given to a group of British businessmen by king Charles I, hence, the name Carolina.
Both of the Carolinas were one colony at that point.

South Carolina (and North Carolina as well--they weren't separated until later) were not "founded" per se--they were (along with Pennsylvania and New Jersey) among the
so-called "Restoration Colonies" dating to the 1660's.
England was ruled by Lords Protectors from 1648 (when Charles I was beheaded) until 1660 (when Charles II returned and the monarchy was restored).
Like most kings of his time, Charles II was perpetually short of cash, and he had a lot of people to reward for their loyalty to the crown. Since he had lots and lots of acreage in North America, he made numerous land grants to his supporters (or sometimes their heirs, as in the case of William Penn).
The Carolinas were, in fact, named in Charles' honor.
