Geography of the Southern Colonies
The southern colonies had rich soil, flat land, and a warm climate to let you farm. The farmers built huge plantations on the land that was provided. The farmers grew rice, tobacco, wheat, but cotton came on later. There was a coast line that the colonist built harbors and those became key trading centers. There was lots of trade but the only thaings that were getting traded timber, grain, tobacco, rice, tools (axes, shovels, etc), clothing, other manufactured goods, rum, iron products, gold, and enslaved africans.
Slavery in the Southern Colonies
Slavery in the Southern Colonies was like african people having a party, but not really a party. It was more of a harvesting workday but it was infested with african people. When the owner of the slaves came to the field if one slave wasn't working he or she would get beat, hanged, or shot even.
