The reason why Quakers, German Lutherans, German-Moravians and Irish and Scottish Presbyterians migrated towards the newly established North Carolina colony was because of the availability of rich and plentiful land as the frontier moved further and the land availability in regions like Virginia and South Carolina became scarcer.

A final reason is that in 1729 King George II took over the ownership of the North Carolina lands from their earlier owners, the Lord Proprietors, and by doing so, he lowered the tariffs and prices over the land, making it affordable especially to those coming down the Great Wagon Road.
