1673 -The Plantation Duty Act requires that all colonies trade directly with England or face heavy duties on goods. Albemarle colonists resist because their lack of an adequate harbor requires them to ship goods to northern colonies before they can be shipped to England.
Albemarle governor John Jenkins refuses to enforce the act.
1675 - Chowanoc Indians attack white settlements in Carolina.
The uprising is quelled with the "loss of many men."
Two leaders of the Proprietary faction, Thomas Eastchurch and Thomas Miller, clash with Governor John Jenkins, a leader of anti-Proprietary sentiment.
Jenkins jails Miller for “treasonable utterances” and attempts to dissolve the assembly.
The majority of that body disagrees with Jenkins, however, and he is deposed and jailed.
1676 - By March, Jenkins is released and resumes the post of governor. Eastchurch and Miller go to England to try to sway the Lords Proprietors in their favor. The Proprietors side with Eastchurch and appoint him governor. But Eastchurch delays his return to Carolina and, without authority to do so, appoints Miller as acting governor.
