Carolina History

Over the last year, I've learned a bit about real estate in various towns. My latest research is into Raleigh North Carolina Real Estate. What I've always wondered, not knowing much about history, is how the Carolinas came to be split into North and South. That seems to happen a lot in history. There you have a town or place where everyone's getting along fine, then all of a sudden there's a rift and you have two places. I wonder if that's how it happened. In history there are always north-south divides and that's still true today. Wherever you go in the world, someone is complaining about their opposite number. It might be the same in the Carolinas.
