20. The End of the Proprietors
1st problem -
Who is going to control the colony? Proprietors or colonists?
Colonists felt the Proprietors were not supporting them with enough supplies or money.
Proprietors did feel like the colonists were obedient enough & were costing them profits.
All the proprietors sold their shares except 3. The colony was costing them too much money.

21. The End of the Proprietors
Proprietors told colonists that all the laws of England would apply here too.
When rumors of a new attack by the Spanish surfaced in 1719, they appealed to the King of England for protection instead of the Proprietors.
Governor Robert Johnson refused to serve during dispute so colonists elect James Moore Jr. This action moved SC closer to becoming a Royal Colony.
King negotiated with the Proprietors for South Carolina. It took 10 years for them to reach an agreement.
1729 South Carolina became a royal colony under the King of England.
