The rural colony of South Carolina has a very interesting history which includes dreadful leaders, horrid mistreatment of slaves and many other occurrences. South Carolina was stumbled upon by a French explorer who soon moved on and left the fertile land to be found by William Sayle, an English ship captain in 1670.

The United States of America was once a divided North America. There were the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. Which were all formed in the 1700’s. Although these colonies were soon to be one big country, They had lots of differences and similarities, Like their people, land, and economics. One of the many similarities between the colonies is that they all practiced religion, mostly Christian.
While the Southern Colonies were known for having numerous plantations, they had few towns and cities. Plantation owners wanted to use as much land as possible for growing cash crops and were not interested in building towns. However, by the mid 1700s, settlements along the Atlantic coast grew into large towns. These large towns all had the same thing in common--good harbors for trade.

The slaves who worked on cotton plantations usually had some sense of community among themselves, but were surrounded by more white people.
They were getting away from issues they had experienced in England, which took into consideration colonists to be similar. As stated previously, the opportunities that the colonists in the New England settlements and the Chesapeake region colonies were
The first reason why they decided to colonize is because there was people for slaves there and every ⅔ people were men between 18 and 30. They could use the slaves to make money and have them work for them. Another reason why is because they wanted to get land for their king or for their leader. Then they would be a bigger country. The first cause of colonialism is there was war over the slaves this caused many people to die and houses were destroyed.
