Wasn't Carolina divided in 1710? –radiojon 19:44, 2004 Apr 5 (UTC)
- Uh, the Internet seems confused by this.[1] (http://www.google.com/search?q=colony+carolina+carolinas+divided) I suppose we'll actually have to crack a book. :) jengod 20:00, Apr 5, 2004 (UTC)
I think you're close. Looking at NC and SC histories, I see various dates. It seems like they grew somewhat separately and operated practically independently for some time. I've seen 1710 and 1712 as the date that the colony was divided. I can't tell how formal the division was. South Carolina did not become a crown colony until 1729, which explains where that date comes from. I have to run -- so no time to revise right now. Feel free to jump in.
