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.
i dont now. look it up some where else i was looking for it first.
Jamestown, Virginia was the earliest settled town among the 13 colonies. It was founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company.
The southern colonies were populated, because people in England heard of the riches in America. They soon learned how well cash crops grew such as indigo, tobacco, and cotton. Men who were in debt had the option under James Oglethorpe to travel to Georgia to work as indentured servants.
Nomadic peoples looked for fertile, well watered land to settle on.
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.

The English settled in the Southern Colonies.
economic reasons
English,Scottish, and enslaved workers
South Carolina was one of the original colonies in the United States. It was settled by Europeans in the 16th century, and founded in the 17th century.
The southern colonies were primarily settled by English colonists seeking economic opportunities, religious freedom, and land ownership. The Virginia Company established the first successful colony at Jamestown in 1607, followed by the founding of Maryland by Lord Baltimore in 1634. The Carolinas were settled by English planters in the late 17th century, while Georgia was established as a buffer colony by James Oglethorpe in 1732. These colonies relied heavily on cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, and utilized enslaved labor from Africa to support their agricultural economies.

Mostly from Britain, though Florida was settled by Spain.
The French and British Waited to start colonies because the Spanish had already settled.
