Complicated. First, Charles I had granted some land to a Sir Robert Heath, but that Charles was deposed and had his head chopped off. Heath didn't develop the land. In 1663, after the Restoration of the British crown, Charles II granted land south of Virginia to the northern point of Florida to several men who had helped him regain the crown. English settlers moved in. The territory also included parts of what is now Tennessee and Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. In 1665 King Charles moved the boundary up into what is now the southern boundary of Virginia, so that this charter could include more of Chesapeake bay. Quakers and other Protestants moved into the colony from Germany and Switzerland as well. By 1712 the population was large enough for the crown to divide into two and have governors of North and South Carolina. In 1732 King George carved out the territory of Georgia from South Carolina. Generally the disputes over borders had to do with income and shipping. Colonists made money from shipping goods back to England for sale. England charged taxes and manufactured goods from raw materials. The slave trade made many in the southern colonies rich. There is a lot more to this - try www.sandersweb.net/nc/carolinacolony.htm
