History[]
The colonies of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia declared their independence in 1776. The independence was granted in 1783 and in 1787 they formed an alliance, called Coalition of Virginia and the Carolinas, in response to the Columbia Federation.
In 1795, a tariff disagreement with Columbia end up with a dissolution of the non-tariff pact of the Continental Congress. This moved the Coalition states closer as a single nation, in which Viriginia became dominant.
In 1820, the king of Virginia died with no heir. The Virginian parliament elected the South Carolinan king as king of Virginia. In March 1821, North Carolina voted in a referendum to become a monarchy united to the monarchies of Virginia and South Carolina. The union was protacolized in September as a permanent Union with a single Parliament.
