The origins of Virginia began in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. The Virginia Company, which had been given the charter to found the colony, set up a General Assembly. In 1624, Virginia became a royal colony when the Virginia Company's charter was revoked. However, the General Assembly stayed in place which helped set a model for representative government in this and other colonies.
The Southern colonies were just a part of the 13 originals colonies settled by the English during the 1600s and 1700s. Therefore the government of the southern colonies was under the British government, just like the northern colonies. Each of the 13 colonies had a governor who reported to the English government.
