Soon though the King himself gets most of the Lord Proprietors to sell their rights to North Carolina bring us under Royal Rule. Although after all a such long time the assembly had gained a lot of power making them untrustworthy so stick to the local government and the officials you know you can trust!
If you are good at providing a necessary service(tailoring, blacksmiths, etc.) I will suggest that you head for an isolated town right now! This is because that people like you become very prosperous in towns and settlements like that. We have a mercantilism economy that is based off what we can grow in our wondrous colony. Crops that we can eat and the crops that are grown only to sell like tobacco. Tobacco is becoming a very popular crop to be growing right now!(7) Although it looks like the headright system will no longer support our labor needs so we will need to import some more slaves. So if your farmer have no worries and come join us in North Carolina! After all 95% are farming! Don't worry if farming isn't your thing though you can easily become a merchant, lawyer, doctor, public official, teacher, or many other things! (6 and 1)
Where there is something for everyone!
So as you can see we welcome many into the borders of our colony so there is no need to be shy. There is bound to be a part of your culture here in North Carolina after all the culture is shaped by the people. (9, 8, 5, and 2)
Here are the percentages of the ethnic groups in our beautiful colony:
English 48.7 %
African 20.0 %
Scot-Irish 7.8 %
German 6.9 %
Scottish 6.6 %
Dutch 2.7 %
French 1.4 %
Swedish 0.6 %
Other 5.3 %
The eastern part of North Carolina and the first part to be colonized despite the slight difficulty getting there because of our wonderful sandy islands called the Outer Banks. Don't worry though once you get here there is fertile and easy to work soil to be had for all! (7)
The beautiful area of the Piedmont is the great area that stretches right in the middle of our great colony. The rolling hills of this area are made of red clay which is only a little less fertile and a little harder work but, don't worry with a little hard work you will be set up right away! (7)
Since we have been religiously tolerant since 1672 many religions have come here to get comfortable so you will not have to fear and be able to worship as you please but this is a list of the main religions in North Carolina right now.(12, and 9)
The breathtaking scenery of the Mountains is what will await you in the western part of North Carolina. Most of these mountains you see are apart of the Appalachian Mountain system. Covered in dense forests the Mountains are still a great place to be despite the lack of farmland! (7)
It is because of this pleasant climate and combined with the good quality of the soil that one person said that North Carolina was meant by nature to be a agricultural place! Here is a break down of how our year usually goes!
Water gets pretty evenly spread out as rain or snow over here in North Carolina. The largest amount usually falling in July and August while the least usually falls in October and November. Also since our fair colony is the way it is you can move back and forth from east to west to predict your snow levels, Northern Coastal can get four inches a year while in the valleys there is eight inches, and if you really love the snow you can live close to the peaks of the Mountains which get thirty inches or more a year. No matter where you are though all of this weather keeps the ground nice and damp so farmers won't have to worry too much. (7)
