Geography of the Southern Colonies● 5 Colonies made up the Southern Colonies:
● Maryland● Virginia● N. Carolina● S. Carolina● Georgia
● They are all located south of the Mason-Dixon Line
● The Mason-Dixon Line was originated by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon who were tasked with settling a boundary dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland

Geography of the Southern Colonies● Climate: Warm and Humid
● Hot/humid Summers provided long growing seasons
● Raised crops such as tobacco and rice
● Because these crops require heavy manual labor to harvest, this spurred the early development of slavery

Conflicts with Native Americans● As Virginia’s white population grew, the Native American population sank
● This was due to disease and violence among them
● Farmers were beginning to take over more land for growing tobacco
● Native Americans who were living in English areas began to conform to English rules

Bacon’s Rebellion● Trouble began to grow as wealthy farmers were buying up all of the ‘good’ land
near the coast and the poor farmers became disgruntled
● They were mad because they could not provide for their family and because they were not able to vote
● These colonists began to look inland to find land and found trouble with the Native Americans
● Fighting broke out and the farmers demanded laws against the Native Americans

Bacon’s Rebellion● Nathaniel Bacon became the leader of the frontier settlers
● In 1675, he organized a force of 1,000 westerners to attack and kill Native Americans
● The governor declared Bacon and his men were rebels
● Bacon reacted by attacking Jamestown, burning it to the ground and forcing the the governor to flee
● This revolt, known as Bacon’s Rebellion, collapsed when Bacon died
● The governor’s response was to hang 23 of Bacon’s men

● What was the main cause of Bacon’s Rebellion?

Religious Toleration in Maryland● In 1632, King Charles I granted a charter for a new
colony to George Calvert, an English Catholic
● His goal was to set up a colony where Catholics could live safely
● His colony, Maryland, lay across the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia
● Their first settlers were Catholics and Protestants
● They grew tobacco and harvested the sea life of the Chesapeake Bay
● Soon tension grew between the Catholics and Protestants and the Act of Toleration of 1649 was formed to help settle the disagreements

Colonies in the Carolinas and Georgia● By the 1660s, settlers were moving south of Virginia
● In 1663, King Charles II granted a new charter for a new colony there called Carolina
● Northern Carolina developed slowly with settlers living on small farms, raising and exporting tobacco, and producing lumber
● The slow expansion was due to lack of harbors and rivers where ships could travel

Colonies in the Carolinas and Georgia● The Southern part of Carolina grew more quickly
● Sugar was growing well in the swampy lowlands
● Many planters came from the West Indies and brought slaves with them to grow the sugar
● Soon, farmers were using slaves to help harvest another crop: rice
● As rice sales grew, Carolina’s main city, Charles Town (today’s Charleston) became the biggest city of the Southern Colonies
● This was the beginning of 2 colonies: North Carolina and South Carolina

Georgia● The last of England’s 13 colonies, Georgia, was founded for 2 reasons:
1. As a buffer for fear of Spain expanding northward
● A debtor is someone who owes money
● Under English laws, the government could imprison debtors until they paid what they owed
● Georgia’s founders wanted to keep it simple with small farms and not plantations.
2. Englishmen wanted a colony where there would be protection for English debtors

The Tidewater Region● Life along the coast was much different than life inland
● The biggest difference was coastal settlers had plantations
● Plantations, or large farms, were used where hot climates made growing crops such as cotton, sugar, and rice easy
● The plantation system spread whenever settlers discovered crops that grew well in their climate and realized they needed more help to harvest

The Backcountry● It was cut off by poor roads and long distances
● Families usually lived on isolated farms
● They often did not legally own the land they farmed
● Few (if any) had servants so the women and girls worked in the fields with the men and boys
● Life in the backcountry vs. life near the coast was so different, they believed that colonial governments did not care for them or their well-being
