Answer 1

Hyde opposed policies that favored Quaker interests.

Step-by-step explanation:

In what was known as the Cary Rebellion. Thomas Cary, former governor of North Carolina who was once a member of the Anglican Church of England party, changed to Quaker following a series of religion and political occurrences. During his second reign, Thomas Cary together with Quakers dominated the political life of North Carolina.

However, by 1711, Edward Hyde came into the colony to become governor under the authority of the Lords Proprietors. Initially, Thomas Cary was willing to relinquish the post of the governor to Edward Thomas, however, when Hyde policies began to oppose the favored Quaker's interests, Thomas Cary refused to recognize Edward Hyde as governor?
