Answer 1

The most significant difference between the northern and southern Carolina settlements was that the northern settlement was free from slavery while the southern settlement relied on enslaved workers.

The southern part of the Carolinas developed a plantation economy that depended heavily on enslaved labor for crops like rice and indigo, whereas the northern region had a more diversified economy that included small-scale farming and did not rely as heavily on slavery.
