North Carolina demands very little more atten- tion at our hands. During the proprietary period the people clung to the coast and were behind the other colonies in their civilization. "Of all the thirteen colonies North Carolina was the least commercial, the most provincial, the farthest re- moved from European influences, and its wild 312 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE forest life the most unrestrained. Every colony had its frontier, its borderland between civilization and savagery; but North Carolina wa...s composed en- tirely of frontier. The people were impatient of legal restraints and averse to paying taxes; but their moral and religious standard was not below that of the other colonies. The freedom was the freedom of the Indians, or the wild animal, not that of the criminal and the outlaw. Here truly was life in the primeval forest, at the core of nature's heart. There were no cities, scarcely villages. The people were farmers or woodsmen, they lived apart, scattered through the wilderness; their highways were the rivers and bays, and their homes were con- nected by narrow trails winding among the trees.
