SOUTHERN COLONIES - TIMELINE AND GEOGRAPHY // Southern colonies border both land and the Atlantic Ocean.The effects are many plantations were formed including plantations of indigo and rye. Colonies in the Southern colonies make money, especially planters. // //1606-The king of England the Virginia Company a charter allowing the settlement of Chesapeak Bay// // 1632-King Charles granted a charter to James Oglothorpe // // 1712-Population in Carolina increased and became too hard to govern so they decided to separate and become two colonies-South Carolina and North Carolina // // 1700’s-Transportation improved and it became easier to get from one route to another // // 1774-Colonists wrote a petition to king George stating their rights. // // I think the charter for Chesapeak Bay was important because it is a new settlement including a body of water.That makes it important because it can change the geography of all the southern colonies ,and can change the creatures that live there.It can also change the climate.I also think the separation of South and North Carolina was important.What made that important is that it made the Southern Colonies bigger.I think the fact that transportation got better was important because the colonists can be happier that they can get from one place to another.Finally I think it was important that the colonists wrote a petition to King George because they are trying to earn their freedom. //
