 Economy revolved around the before mentioned cash crops  Could grow rice, tobacco, sugarcane, cotton, and indigo all the time due to good climate  Crops would be shipped out to places that had a hard time growing crops in the summer/winter when it was not growing season, like Europe and the Middle/New England Colonies

 The main religious group was the Quakers  The Quakers were also the people that came to North Carolina and established the first colonies there  Many attempts were made to build Anglican churches, but they failed  The Quakers belief in nonviolence became a problem in the eighteen hundreds when the Indians, Americans, British and the French all had a war in America  Because the Quakers were anti-violence, they could not rebel and fight back when the war moved to North Carolina.
