The Southern Colonies

Question 6 • WV-US Studies

How was Carolina similar to Virginia?

Answer
A
It started as a charter colony but became a royal colony.
B
It was governed by the House of Burgesses.
C
It was settled by plantation owners from Barbados.

Explanation

Both colonies began under private or charter arrangements and later came under direct control of the English Crown. Virginia became a royal colony in 1624, and Carolina later became a royal colony as well. The House of Burgesses governed Virginia, not Carolina, so B is not the similarity.
