This video is about the Carolina colony, which was designed by John Locke for Lord Shaftesbury in the 1660s and 70s. (Eventually it was divided into North and South Carolina as well as Georgia.) Charles II awarded the Carolina Charter to eight Lords Proprietors, but only Shaftesbury took a serious interest in it. Inspired by James Harrington's Utopian "Commonwealth of Oceana", Locke and Shaftesbury founded a feudalistic commonwealth in the New World-- for others to settle. They themselves remained in England to plot against the Stuart monarchy.
