1. The Northern colonies were a refuge for religious dissenters, many of whom immigrated in families. Fewer families migrated to the Southern colonies because the South attracted people who were seeking economic prosperity.
2. Many people came to the Southern colonies from England because of limited opportunities in the old country. The English countryside was nearly fully occupied by farmers, but the American South had vast expanses of uninhabited, uncultivated land. Immigrants also came from Germany, Scotland and Ireland, and some of these people moved inland, away from the English, especially if they could not obtain fertile land near the coast. These inland Southern colonists faced hardship living in Indian country and wilderness.
3. Colonists in the Southern colonies experienced epidemics of yellow fever and malaria, which shortened life <span>expectancies</span>. These disease outbreaks did not plague the North as much. Life expectancy was even shorter for slaves abducted from Africa or other places. On some of the harsher plantations, slave life expectancy was only seven to nine years.
They founded two major cities on the river during the colonial era: Savannah was established in 1733 as a seaport on the Atlantic Ocean, and Augusta is located where the river crosses the Fall Line of the Piedmont, at the headwaters of the navigable portion of the river downstream to the ocean.

In a recent survey, it was found that
"<span>
two thirds"</span> of the caregivers for the dependent elderly living in the community and not in nursing homes were women.
A caregiver is somebody who is effectively occupied with giving care, consideration
and requirements to another, for example, a chronically sick, incapacitated or aged
relative or companion. Generally a caregiver ends up in this part with an
absence of preparing, support, or compensation.
