Abstract:
Political factionalism in North Carolina during the 1720s was not a simple two-sided conflict between popular opinion and entitled power but a complex, interest-based struggle that shifted to reflect economic and social divisions. The primary issue between factions was expansion southward along the Cape Fear River into Bath County. This conflict led to a more rapid transition from proprietary to royal rule in the colony.
