What caused the British government to take more interest in the American colonies?

There were several factors that all worked together to draw Britain's attention to the American colonies. The first factor was France and Spain's withdraw from the American colonies, leaving Britain as the only control. The thirteen colonies between South Carolina and Main had also grown in trade and economy. The colonies had also developed urban centers and large populations, this meant that the colonies had a strong economy and society independent from the British government which drew Britain's attention.


How was the climate in the southern colonies?

The southern colonies were the warmest of all. Crops could be grown throughout the year. The climate was perfect for plantations.


In what ways was the experience of slaves different in the middle colonies from the southern colonies?

In the middle colonies, the experience of slaves was generally less harsh compared to the southern colonies, where the plantation system dominated. Middle colonies often had a more diverse economy with smaller farms, allowing for a somewhat less oppressive environment, and some slaves could earn wages or gain limited autonomy. In contrast, southern colonies relied heavily on slave labor for large-scale agriculture, leading to brutal conditions and a more rigid racial hierarchy. Additionally, the social dynamics in the southern colonies reinforced a more entrenched system of slavery compared to the relatively more integrated society of the middle colonies.
