Answer

The climate of North Carolina did not support plantation agriculture.
B
Slavery was outlawed in North Carolina soon after its founding.
C
Settlers of South Carolina came from plantations in Barbados.
D
Settlers of North Carolina were typically small farmers.

Explanation

South Carolina was settled in part by colonists from Barbados, where plantation agriculture and enslaved labor were already common. North Carolina had more small farmers and fewer large plantations, so slavery was less widespread there. North Carolina’s climate could support plantation crops in some areas, and slavery was not outlawed there soon after its founding.
