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

This distinction highlights the economic and social structures that developed in each region, with the South increasingly reliant on plantation agriculture that utilized enslaved labor, while the North had different economic pursuits and less reliance on slavery.
