North Carolina Colony

North Carolina colony with it 's extended ocean line, valuable natural resources, and temperate climate, make it very valuable for England. The extended coastline stretches for many miles and could be used for a port receiving cargo and passenger ships from the mainland. The existence of the mountains provides the colony with a decent amount of natural resources. The climate is very good for the agricultural development of the colony. All these factors make a North Carolina colony a great place to consider for the British empire. There are no other colonies in North America that have such unique water system. North Carolina has three river systems that are beneficial. All of these three river systems are for medium and small ships which

First of all this land is full of different types of mineral. Mountains give to colony more than 150 kinds of minerals: among them gold, silver and copper; it can help with weapon power and money. Appalachians mountains have very large deposits of marl near them, sow we can build a lot of cities.The author of «School History of North Carolina» emphasizes, «Of all resources for wealth this is the most durable; and... is best calculated to promote the happiness of man.» . There are a lot of big forests in North Carolina which can be very important and very useful for the colony. The area of all the forests is about 1.1 millions of acres and it 's tones of wood. Not less important is that forests are homes and habitat for thousands of animals. As a conclusion I can say that forests will save colony in bad times or help to grow up and become better. Animals and fish in North Carolina will provide colony with food and clothes for many years. Mammals will be the main suppliers of meat because in North Carolina there about 25 types of them. Reptiles can be a problem for the humans, their habitat is present in some forests and in most of the rivers. As noted by John Lawson "And at present the Curious may have a large field to satisfy and divert themselves in, as Collections of strange Beasts, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, Shells, Fishes, Minerals, Plants, Shrubs, intricate Roots, Gums, Tears,

It will be important to say that climate in the colony is very good for people 's life length and health. As Mr. Holleman, a journalist for ,,The progressive farmer", writes in his article: "Life without health, or the hope of it, is hardly worth living. Health and happiness go hand in hand , and are attainable in a high degree except under favorable natural conditions." The temperature in this region is not too cold and not too hot, not too wet and not dry. In this case Appalachian Mountains protect the colony from cold and dry north wind but if these mountains did not exist in North Carolina it would have been twice as cold and very dry. John Lawson agrees, "As to the climate, it is very healthful;...neither are we ever visited by Earthquakes." The Climate is ideal for growing crops and farming. Gulf Stream smoothes the climate that help plants with the transition of seasons. Winters are not so cold, frosts do not remain on the ground for more than 2-3 days. The average of the rain fall is about fifty inches but the most important fact is that it is evenly distributed throughout the year. Such a good climate leads to a beautiful plant life. The location of this colony is in between north and south, so it makes temperatures perfect as a prove there are a lot of forests that grow very
