Abstract:

Freedom of religion marked the life of early North Carolina colonists through most of the 17th century as a result of indifference, economic ambitions of the Lords Proprietors, and the sentiment of the times that brought people to the New World. However, when religion became involved in provincial politics, toleration ceased.
