Geography affected where people settled in the southern colonies because most were looking for a good water source and fertile land to farm. These were located along the coastal plains. The southern climate was another factor. Tobacco cannot be grown in cooler climates such as New Jersey.

For the most part settlers initially populated the coasts of the Southern colonies. This placed them apart from Native Americans.

How did geography shape life in eurpoe after the fall of rome?

Geography helped to shape the kingdoms established by the Germanic peoples who invaded the western part of the Roman Empire. The Vandals established their kingdom in the former Roman province of Africa (western Libya, Algeria, and northern Morocco) separately from Europe. The Visigoths established their kingdom in the Hibernian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), which was separate from the rest of Europe by its location and the Pyrenees Mountains. The Franks took over the whole of France, defeating the Visigoths who had settled in the southwest, the Burgundians who had settled in the east and the Alemanni who had settled in the Northwest. The Franks were originally from southern Holland and the mid-Rhine area of Germany. This helped them to take over southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria, making the Frankish kingdom the largest in Europe. In Britain the Angles and Saxons established kingdoms there, helped by the fact that Britain is an island. Thus, geography contributed to shaping the new political map of Europe and through this, the lives of most Europeans who lived in separate kingdoms.
