? PAGE ?1? CHAPTER 3: THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN AMERICA, 1660-1750 THE POLITICS OF EMPIRE, 1660-1713 The Great Aristocratic Land Grab: Charles II gave land of the Carolinas to aristocratic friends, and the land between the Delaware and Connecticut rivers to his brother James, Duke of New York. The administrators of the new colonies created traditional social order, consisting of a gentry class and an established Church of England. The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina (1669) set down regulations of a manorial system. (See terms) South Carolina remained a poorly governed and violent-stricken settlement until the 1720?s due to conflicts with Indian slaves. Pennsylvania was a place for Quaker refugees to flee to after persecutions in England occurred.

Textbook 108-112 Peter Stuyvesant was the governor of New Netherland during 1664. Stuyvesant swore that he would defend the city during the quarrel with England but had few weapons, gunpowder and respect to do so. He had no respect because of his harsh rule and heavy taxes so therefore refused to help him. This held him back from keeping his word of defending the city.
