Abstract:

With the introduction of colonists to America, there was division on the proper doctrine of governmental control. Although early on, North Carolina would have been more willing than most of the colonies to accept the prevailing British doctrine of governmental rule, many North Carolinians later advocated for mercantilism, the economic doctrine of government control of foreign trade that ensured military stability. One problem standing in their way however, was the lack of settlers initially.
