Carolina

The Confederation of Carolina (French: Confédération de Carolina) was a British dominion which existed from 1845 to 1933. The dominion existed as a union between five colonies, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, East Florida, and West Florida, all of which had a majority population of Carolinian French. Similar to many North American dominions, including the United States, Carolina had a mostly republican style of government, with an elected President-General which served as a liason between the national government and the crown. As Carolina was strongly opposed to the notion of abolitionism, a cause Queen Victoria highly supported, the government was intentionally structured this way, to keep the crown removed from politics and prevent republican sentiment from rising. Carolina was the last British possession to outlaw slavery, doing so in 1871 after intense economic and political pressure from London and other dominions.
