Explanation:

North Carolina began as a proprietary colony. To attract settlers in the colony, Lord Proprietors held political control with the landowners. Other settlers without wealth or land had little to say in the colony.

There was a growing tension that led to the Yamasee War. Lord proprietors were unable to secure their colony, and the white settlers in Carolina felt exposed to outside attacks, and slave rebellions in their settlements in 18th Century. Settlers began appealing King George II to obtain security by giving Carolina a royal colony. In 1729, the settlers achieved their goal by overthrow Lord’s Proprietors. The South and North Carolina became royal colonies.
