Explanation:

The Carolinas is the generic name to refer collectively to the states of North Carolina and South Carolina in the United States.

The Carolinas were known as the Province of Carolina during the American colonial period, from 1663 to 1710. Previously these lands were considered part of the Colony of Virginia, between 1609 and 1663. The Province of Carolina received its name in honor of Carlos I from England.
