The Carolina proprietors and their colonists had never got on well together.
They now got on worse than ever.
The greater part of the colonists were not members of the established church, but the proprietors tried to take away the right to vote from all persons who were not of that faith.
They also interfered in elections and tried to prevent the formation of a true representative assembly.

Later, he bought out the rights of the proprietors.
In this way, Carolina became a royal province.
