The Southern Colonies of British Colonial America consisted of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, and Virginia. The first permanent settlement among them was at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.[citation needed]
The hope of gold, resources, and lands drew English colonists to the Southern Colonies. The Southern colonies, unlike the New England colonies, consisted of winters that were mild and summers that were hot. There were huge farms and plantations. Houses were miles apart from each other.
The southern colonies were perfect for growing crops and maintaining animals. The Southern colonies had the warmest climate accompanied by many cool blue rivers.

My parents just went on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina. They learned that the rich plantation owners would spend the winters on the plantations, and the summers in their huge, waterfront houses. They did this because they thought that it was more likely to get a disease of some sort in the country than in the town. Good post!
I didn't know about the gold
