What are North Carolina's natural resources?
The colony of North Carolina was on the east side of the new world, the natural resources included great planting soil, it had the best climate being a southern colony, so it had the longest growing season, the colonist grew cash crops such as sugar cane, rice, tobacco, and indigo. The southern colonies had few mountains, and quite a bit of trees. The southern colonies had the biggest amounts of land. The colony was near the ocean too.
How did John Rolfe affect the colony?
Rolfe reacted to consumer demand by importing seed from the West Indies and cultivating the plant in the Jamestown colony. Those tobacco seeds became the seeds of a huge economic empire. By 1630, over a million and a half pounds of tobacco were being exported from Jamestown every year. The tobacco economy rapidly began to shape the society and development of the colony. Growing tobacco takes its toil on the soil. Because tobacco drained the soil of its nutrients, only about three successful growing seasons could occur on a plot of land. Then the land had to lie fallow for three years before the soil could be used again. This created a huge drive for new farmland.
How did John Rolfe transform the Virginia colony?
He experimented with tobacco plants, by crossbreeding tobacco from brazil, with a harsh strain of weeds that Native Americans had grown. Making the plants spread like wildfire.
