South Carolina

South Carolina was founded as a proprietary colony when the king (Charles II) granted land to the eight Lords Proprietors in payment of debt

Headright System

In order to encourage immigration, the proprietors granted large tracts of land to settlers through the headright system, just as in VA

The headright system led to the establishment of large plantations based on cash crops that made South Carolina a distinctly southern colony

Ex: Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia

Slave System

The first SC settlers were Englishmen who emigrated from the British colony of Barbados and brought a well-developed slave system with them.

Slavery made the plantation owners very wealthy

Other settlers attracted to the prosperous Carolina colony came from France, Switzerland, Germany, Scotland and Ireland
