The geography of North Carolina was very desirable for some of the first settlers because of all of the fertile land and diverse features. Farmers found it easy to make a profit on crops which prospered in the soil, fishermen had excellent harbors to fish from and to sell their merchandise, and travel by river was easy with so many weaving through the state. Also, early Americans settled along the various rivers because of easy access to main cities on the coast and there were plenty of resources in the surrounding area.
 *  North Carolina is bordered by Virginia in to North and South Carolina on its southern border, along with Tennessee to the West.
 *  The total area of the state is 52,672 square miles
 *  North Carolina is mainly composed of three distinct regions: costal plains, plateaus and mountains.
 *  The __costal plains__ are low-lying land that extends inland for 301 miles from the coastline and contain both marshy land, known as the Great Dismal Swamp, and dry land.
 *  The __plateaus__ contain gentle hills and valleys along with fertile farming soil and extend across nearly half of the state
 *  The __mountains__ are known as the Great Smokey Mountains which are part of the Appalachian mountain chain.
 *  Within the mountains lies Mount Mitchell, rising to 6,684 feet high and known as the highest point in the state and the whole eastern seaboard.
 *  The Outer Banks are a series of small islands off the North Carolina coast and are known to have caused hundreds of ship wrecks. The islands consequently are known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic”.
 *  Numerous swamps and massive amounts of marshy land have housed communities of snakes and other reptiles over the years.
 *  Some well known rivers in North Carolina are:
 *  Roanoke River – 410 miles (shared with Virginia)
 *  New River – 320 miles (shared with Virginia and West Virginia)
 *  Wateree-Catawba – 395 miles (shared with South Carolina)
 *  Because North Carolina has so much rain water and fertile soil it is perfect for farming. Although certain parts of the state are mountainous or swampy the rest of the land is filled with hundreds of acres of open fields. Farmers, however, must keep a watchful eye over their crops during the summer otherwise they will easily burn and die.

__ South Carolina ____ : __  South Carolina was a great place for European travelers to become early American settlers because of its vast resources. The diverse geography helped settlers because they could get resources from the ocean and busy harbors as well as from fertile farming land and prosperous mountain ranges with mines. Many different people would have benefited from living in South Carolina.
 *  South Carolina is located south of North Carolina and is also surrounded by Georgia to the North and East.
 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> The state covers 31,189 square miles total

 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"> The __Coastal Plain__ is a low-lying swamp area that covers about 2/3rds of the state. Most of the area is only just above sea level.
 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"> The __Sandhills__ are located between the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont. It is composed of rolling hills and valleys. It is also where most cotton grows in the state.
 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"> The __Piedmont__ is an area of higher elevation which contains streams, ponds and massive amounts of vegetation.
 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in;"> The __Blue Ridge Mountains__ are a part of the Appalachian Mountain chain. The highest point is Sassafras Mountain rising to 3,560 feet. The mountains, as well, house a large amount of vegetation for the state.
 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> Major rivers in the state of South Carolina include:

 * <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"> South Carolina farming conditions are very similar to that of North Carolina in that they also contain very fertile soil and nutrients, however, with improper care, crops can easily be destroyed by the hot summer months.

**__TERMS:__**

 * Cash crops were grown throughout both North Carolina and South Carolina because of the favorable soil and long harvesting seasons. They brought profits to the farmers more inland that didn’t get as much revenue as fishermen and sailors.
 * The Triangular Trade was a trade route to receive slaves. From New England to the west Indies fish and lumber were carried across this math. In the west Indies they picked up sugar and molasses, which was used to make rum, and sent them to Africa. Africa receives these goods and traded these items for slaves. Sugar and molasses was traded in North and South Carolina.

This allowed North and South Carolina to prosper the most without any leaders. The salutary neglect allowed North and South Carolina, like many other colonies to increase the number of people enslaved and increase the amount of farming and agriculture.

**__ Revolution: __** <span style="display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;"> Although there were no well known and great leaders of the American Revolution that came from North Carolina or South Carolina there were a few great battles and momentous retreats by the British. Nathanael Greene was appointed to command patriot forces in the South after American Benjamin Lincoln surrendered the entire Continental Army in the South. Lincoln chose to do this because the British forces had just recently captured Charleston, South Carolina. Miraculously, Greene convinced Native American groups to end their alliances with the British, which was a huge advantage for the Americans. Throughout spring of 1781 the British forces quickly retreated in massive numbers to North Carolina. After a few more battles the British retreated further and further north into North Carolina and gave the Americans more and more land to claim as their own.

After the American Revolution had broken out, North Carolina sent representatives to the Continental Congress in 1776. In the Continental Congress, North Carolina was on the side of supporting independence and the Constitution. However, a large proportion of the state was still loyal to Britain. North Carolina was affected by the American Revolution by gaining territory of the Appalachian Mountains and by being accepted by other pro-independence colonies.

From the beginning of the American Revolution, the majority of South Carolina supported independence. South Carolina was taken by the British late in the war but later was retrieved by American troops by 1782. On May 23, 1788 South Carolina was the 8th state to join the Constitution. South Carolina was affected by the Revolution by becoming a part of America with the Constitution and by bringing the state together after fighting to get it back from Britain.

= **__ ﻿ __****__ History __** : = The first inhabitants of North Carolina roamed the area between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago. These people were nomadic hunters who practiced agriculture, built large towns and temples. Led by Giovanni Verrazzano, the French lead an expedition to the discovery of the Carolinas. These settlers wanted to visit the area because they wanted to extend their power and own more land. The first permanent settlement was made by Charles II of England. He granted land to English proprietors for the colony of Carolina. North Carolina and South Carolina became separate colonies in the year 1712. North Carolina was politically based. It supported Thomas Jefferson`s democratic-republicans who emphasized states rights over a strong central government. Industrialization grew in North Carolina after the war, they began manufacturing tobacco. The agriculture remained constant with farming techniques, and replacing the plantation system. Both agriculture and industrialization help the economy of North Carolina.
