The colony had grown to a European population of 6,000 (double that of New France) on the eve of its takeover by England in 1664. Slaves in these colonies tended to live and work in smaller, more closely supervised groups than slaves farther south, and their cultural memory of Africa, although often strong, was less pervasive than that of Carolina slaves. Colonists tended to view their elected assemblies as defenders against the king, against Parliament, and against colonial governors , who were attempting to increase their power at the expense of popular liberty.
