These trade laws denied the colonists a free market outside England and placed heavy duties on commodities. The colonists' resentment found an object in the deputy governor, Thomas Miller, who was also customs collector. Led by John Culpeper and George Durant, the rebels imprisoned Miller and other officials, convened a legislature of their own, chose Culpeper governor, and for two years capably exercised all powers and duties of government. Culpeper was finally removed by the proprietors and tried for treason and embezzlement but was never punished. bhttp://gen.culpepper.com/historical/rebellion/default.htm Taken from the Internet, July 21, 2001.€English Attempt at SettlementK?þÿmFþÿRanoake Island€ÿ2This first attemp was by Sir Walter Raleigh.

The colonists landed in Virginia and trekked overland to North Carolina, arriving too late to plant and harvest crops. The settlement survived and flourished, however, and New Bern became the largest town in North Carolina during the colonial period. The New Bern settlement, however, was located in the Tuscarora hunting grounds, and the Cary Rebellion in 1711 left the colonists open to attack. The Tuscarora Indian War (1711-15) was the result. `http://www.segenealogy.com/northcarolina/nc_history.htm Taken from the Internet, July 20, 2001.€%North Carolina Becomes a Royal Colony¾ ÿÿÍÍÍÍ€|Seven of the Lords Proprietors sold their interests in North Carolina to the Crown and North Carolina became a royal colony.chttp://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/nc/history/history.htm Taken from the Internet, July 20, 2001.€North Carolina Leaves the UnionéÈÿÿÍÍÍÍ€¢Instead of voting to secede from the United States, as other states did, North Carolina voted to "undo" the act that had brought it into the United States. \http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/kidspg/history.htm Taken from the Internet, July 20, 2001.€Pepsi-Cola InventedÜýÿÿÍÍÍÍNew Bern€¨At his drugstore fountain, Caleb Branham mixed up a fuzzy drink to aid in digestion and boost energy.
