New England was well suited for commerce because of good coastal harbors.
The middle colonies had a more diverse population -apex!!
England granted land to eight proprietors in the South Carolina area in 1663. The first settlers came in 1670. They were mostly wealthy planters and their slaves emigrating from Barbados. They started growing sugar and cotton. They first kicked out the Native Americans, and then they refused to be ruled by the proprietors, seeking more direct representation. North Carolina was part of the same colony... it split off in 1729.
