What I would do to make the colony eaiser to funtion would be to not have slaves. If North Carolina had NO slaves then the settlers would have more money. The settlers pay the slaves to do their work, when they can accomplish the goal by themselves.
What I would do to make the colony easier to to live in would be stop Slavery and add more farmers. This would help so they can have more farms. What I would to make the colony easier is I would add more farming as farming is easy and gets the colony money.
