Chapter 3 Section 4 - The Southern Colonies



Summary

Maryland began as a safe haven for Catholics who were being persecuted in England. Many Protestants settled there as well, which led to religious and political tensions. Meanwhile, Virginia settlers continued to push westward, in defiance of agreements Virginia’s governor had made with Native Americans.

Although originally intended to be one colony, Carolina split into North Carolina and South Carolina. Georgia was founded in 1733 for poor people and debtors. The Carolinas and Georgia developed into major Southern Colonies.

The French were able to establish good relations with Native Americans as they gradually expanded their lands, along with their fur trade, towards the interior of the continent. Spain founded settlements in the Southwest of the present-day United States. The Spaniards built missions to convert Native Americans to Christianity. Native Americans were forced to labor in fields and workshops.
