1 answer
The colonists of South Carolina appealed to King George of England in 1719 because they wanted to become a royal colony. This means that they wanted the king to have direct control over the colony and its governance, rather than being under the control of a proprietary owner or charter. Becoming a royal colony would provide them with the benefits and privileges that came with direct royal oversight and support.
