Famous People in the Middle Colonies

Southern Colonies The colonies included in the Southern

colony set were, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.

Life was hard, especially for slaves. Not only the Southern colonies had slaves.

Reason for Foundingthe Southern Colonies

GeorgiaA place where people not wanted in England had to go.

North and South Carolina, VirginiaMostly trade

MarylandReligious freedom

Life in Southern ColoniesPeople lived on large plantations. Plantations are a lot

larger than your average farm. Plantations have a planter's home, a kitchen, a dairy, a smokehouse, shops for brick makers and carpenters, stables, barns, cabins, and most of the time, a schoolhouse. Life wad bad because they lived in utter poverty and their only income came from badly abused African-Americans. They didn't have advanced medicine or bug spray back then, so they got a lot. of diseases from mosquitos and ticks. Food there mostly consisted of venison, rice, livestock (such as pigs, cows, and sheep), and wild turkey.

Life for Children in the Southern Colonies

Children in the Southern colonies used horn books and quill pens in school. A horn book is a regular book with a thin coating of animal horn over the pages. A quill pen, as you might already know, is a sharpened feather of a bird, dipped in ink and used to write on paper. The school houses they used had only one teacher and one room a piece!

Southern Colonists and Native Americans

The relationship between the two was a quite hostile one to be honest. You don't hear about Native Americans and Southerners very much. So, the relationship was quite hostile. They held captured American Indians as slaves. This caused may a war between the two. One man in particular, Nathan Bacon, held an attack on friendly Natives, disobeying governor's orders.

James Oglethorpe - James Edward Oglethorpe was born on December 22, 1696 in London England. James was a British General, a member of parliament and founder of the debtor state, Georgia.

Thomas Heyward Jr. - Heyward was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. Thomas Heyward was born in St. Luke's parish, in the state of South Carolina, in 1746.
