The first page of the Carolina charter of 1663. In the charter, Charles II (shown at upper left) conveyed vast lands extending to the Pacific Ocean and including what is now North Carolina to eight of his supporters, known subsequently as the Lords Proprietors.

The 1663 Charter of Carolina granted the Lords Proprietors all of the land from the southern border of the Virginia Colony to Florida, which had the effect of including the existing Spanish settlement at St. Augustine.

Sir Robert Heath

The Carolina Charter of 1663 was a gift of land from England’s King Charles II to eight friends who had helped him regain the throne. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina were given land in America stretching from ocean to ocean.

THE STATE NAME: Carolina was named to honor Charles IX of France and then Charles I and Charles II of England. Carolina is rooted in Latin and comes from the word Caroliinus. This word is derived from the name Carolus, translated as “Charles.”

Of the two states, NC is actually bigger than SC, but SC is closer to the equator, giving it a warmer climate. They enjoy the lower cost of living in SC while taking advantage of the urban perks in NC. With North and South Carolina, you can get the best of both worlds.

Here are some of the things that North Carolina is famous for.

Thus passes worldly glory

It was first used at the coronation of Alexander V in Pisa, 7 July 1409, but is earlier in origin; it may ultimately derive from ‘O quam cito transit gloria mundi [Oh how quickly the glory of the world passes away]’ in the De Imitatione Christi of Thomas à Kempis.

There were also musicians, as well as examples of the exotic plants and animals taken from the conquered country. The general was dressed in an elaborate red or purple toga and his face was painted red to imitate the red-painted face of the statues of Mars, the god of war or Jupiter – the King of the gods.

The phrase “All glory is fleeting”, literally means that ‘All glory is temporary’ or Glory/Fame doesn’t last forever. The phrase is a translation from the Latin of Sic transit gloria mundi (Thus passes the glory of the world).

This is a quote commonly attributed to Napoleon. This means that fame or glory is transient— but when someone is forgotten, it is for ever. In short, people remember your good deeds for a short time. Once they are forgotten, it is for ever.
