Bacon’s Rebellion

The Carolinas North Carolina – Had no harbors or rivers, so it relied on growing tobacco and making lumber South Carolina – Excellent weather for growing sugar – People from Barbados came over with slaves to help grow sugar and rice = caused an increase in demand for slavery – Charleston eventually became the biggest city in the Southern Colonies

Georgia The 1 st reason Georgia was made a colony was to prevent the Spanish from colonizing northward, and to be a barrier for wars The 2 nd reason, according to James Oglethorpe, it should be a safe haven for anyone with debt. – Georgia had small farms, no plantations, and slavery was outlawed until the 1750’s.

Change in the Southern Colonies The Tidewater Region – Plantations were made for cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco – The working conditions were unhealthy, humid and hot, so an increase in slavery began – More slaves entering the Southern Colonies caused two changes in society: There were more slaves than slave owners The rich white men were getting richer and the poor white men were getting poorer The Backcountry – Mainly composed of small farms. The land was often not owned legally. Few slaves and servants. – Those in the backcountry felt like they were being left out of important matters and were forgotten 
