Excerpt from The James Sprunt Historical Publications, Vol. 12: Published Under the Direction of the North Carolina Historical Society Few colonies could show a more consistent discontent, more bitter party feeling and personal hostility than did North Oar olina. Even more than its neighbors it suffered from foolish laws and injudicious instructions, as well as from bad govern ors. To the rulers in England and to the Board of Trade it must have seemed a hot-bed of bickering and discontent, yet were the full truth known, as it cannot be for the lack of indisputable evidence, it might be seen that this discontent was due to the attempts of a body of poor but honest settlers to get the most of the circumstances in which they were placed, despite the policy of the rulers in England and the self-seeking activities of their appointees. An understanding of these conditions is essential to follow closely the differences which sprang up between the colony of North Carolina and its mother country and which form the nucleus around which the history of the Royal period is woven.
