The Southern Colonies
Maryland, the yellow state on the map, was a proprietary colony. It was founded for religious freedom.
North Carolina and South Carolina, the pink and blue states on the map, both started out as proprietary colonies, but were eventually bought by the British Crown and made royal. They were created for economic opportunities.
Georgia, the red state on the map, started out as proprietary, but it later became royal. It was founded to create opportunities for debtors in England, and was used as a buffer between Spanish Florida and the rest of the colonies.
Native American Interactions
Eventually, the fighting died down between the two groups, but some smaller groups still rebelled. Nathaniel Bacon was the leader of one group that would raid native villages and attack native Americans. He later tried to attack the capital, but he passed away and the rebellion died with him.

Geography
In the area around Jamestown, there was a lot of marshy land, which meant that there were large populations of bugs such as mosquitoes. New colonists in early Virginia had to deal with the diseases these mosquitoes carried, which include yellow fever and malaria.
