it was the carolinas
The colony that had settlers from the West Indies was Carolina, specifically the southern part known as South Carolina. In the late 17th century, planters from the Caribbean, particularly those from Barbados, migrated to South Carolina due to its favorable climate and fertile land for agriculture, particularly rice and indigo. Their arrival significantly influenced the colony's economy and social structure.
