Geography
From the swampy marsh to the mountains, the geography of the Southern Colonies has a wonderful variety of landscapes that will fit anybody's taste. Around the Appalachian mountains sits dark fertile soil. The humid climate with occasional rains is good for crops and the farmers who own them. Also the South contains the Chesapeake Bay, which has a large variety of seafood and trade.
Religion
The Southern Colonies have a mixture of religions including Baptists, Anglicans, Catholics and Christians. There is a Act of Toleration for Christians and Catholics so they can practice their religion freely without any religious prosecution.
Political System
The political system consists of a governor and a council appointed by the king of England. There is a house of representatives that is elected by the people. They can influence the ideas put forth by the King and the council.
Here in the Southern Colonies we have great weather, fertile soil, and a tolerant society. Come join us today!

Slavery
Slavery is used in the south. The slaves are brought over from Africa by boat and are sold to plantation owners and farmers for them to use on their farms. Once you buy the slave he or she is now your "property". As long as you treat them fairly, they will work nicely for you. There is a large amount of slave use in the southern colonies.
