1. Quarrels with England
By: Mr. Hunter

2. Orders from Abroad

What kinds of conflicts do you think this caused to the colonists?

3. Orders from Abroad
NC, as a royal colony, fell under the jurisdiction of the English Board of Trade.
One of the primary goals of the Board of Trade was to make royal colonial officials more dependent upon England.

They accomplished this goal by appointing all of the royal governors and judges and removing them if they fell out of favor with England.
They fixed the salaries of these individuals, but colonial assemblies still paid the salaries.

5. Orders from Abroad
They gave Burrington the right to decide on the number of assembly representatives.
They gave Burrington the right to veto colonial laws.

6. Orders from Abroad They had him enforce the Navigation Acts.
The Navigation Acts said that all goods shipped to and from the colonies had to be carried by English ships.

7. What were the results of their acts?
The Assembly tried to restrict NC’s charter.
It sparked controversies between the Assembly and royal governor over the assembly representatives and their validity (Were they really there to support the views of the colonists or England?)

15. Where did NC stand?
NC agreed to send troops to Virginia and levy for a special tax that supported the efforts.

The two agreed to build a fort at the head of the Potomac River- Fort Cumberland.

16. Fort Cumberland
Innes waited for the arrival of General Edward Braddock from Britain who would eventually lead the NC troops to take over Fort Duquesne.
What mistakes in critical thinking did Braddock make in organizing and moving the troops? (He really messed up!)
