- Profit
Explanation:
During the race to capture as many American colonies as possible in 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the British and the Spanish set up colonies on the American continent. These included the Southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia with Georgia being created by England's King George as a barrier to protect South Carolina from the Spanish who were in Florida because he was worried that they may try to capture the very prosperous colony.
Another reason was profit. The Southern Colonies contained vast fertile lands that would be very useful in Agriculture. Virginia was able to provide wheat and tobacco. North and South Carolina had tobacco, indigo,and rice and Georgia had sugar. This potential for profit from Agriculture spurred the British to set up colonies in these lands.
