Life In South Carolina

Infact, this state has some of the most finest soil in the world. The settlers found, according to Document A, “extraordinary rich soil.” This soil was healthy and made it easy for the settlers to farm. This could also be difficult because with good crops, come hungry animals and with hungry animals, comes hungry predators, which with all of that combined, creates destruction throughout the land. South Carolina consisted of many predators, such as, “Panthers, Tigers, Wolves, and other Beast of Prey” according to Document C. These animals made it difficult to settle because, these animals stirred up trouble throughout the night. These animals also made it uncomfortable because, as stated in Document C, “we were awaken’d with the dismall’st and most hideous Noise that ever pierc’d my Ears”. This means that it was difficult to sleep throughout the night because of these animal that were disturbing the settlers. That was a major reason of why Charles Town was difficult to

The land was very fertile, very much suited for farming and planting, and it had a warm climate. The southern colonies produced crops like cotton, indigo, rice, etc. The southern colonies had an agriculturally based economy. The work in the south involved more labor than in the north. They needed larger scale labor because they had such large crops. Their crops helped feed most of the colonies.

The first settlement of North Carolina was Albermale Sound and South Carolina was Charleston. A group of people that was quite smaller settled on the northern coast near Albemarle Sound in 1654. The settlement that that smaller group had settled at grew bigger but they had little in common with the south. In 1712, the North and South Carolina divided. The northern part became North Carolina and the southern part became South Carolina.

The geography of the Southern colony includes the Appalachian Mountains, Piedmont, the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and has good harbors and rivers for fish and ships. The Southern colony has a humid climate with mild winters for being outside a lot., hot summers, and long growing seasons that are perfect for farming. The geography and climate will be an asset, but the hot summers will be hard to fight during.

In 1629 King Charles decided to make England a colony. In 1729 north and South Carolina a colony. The colony's were taken over by the King and started to be a colony. The first settlement was Charles Town’s. England was one of the colonies.

The environmental conditions of South Carolina differ dramatically to that of England. The days are long, hot, humid, and at times damp. The people of the colony deserve admiration for dealing with such

There were many differences between the Northern and Southern part of Carolina. The Northern part had completely different geographic features then the southern part of Carolina. For instance the Northern part grew Tobacco, which was a cash crop for them, because the land and climate were just right for growing tobacco. In the southern part of the colony they grow rice, which they used as a staple crop which is a crop that many people can use to support themselves on they grew it. Rice also known as Carolina gold became a prosperous crop because of the African slaves. They knew how to flood fields to grow it and how to plant it. Also Northern part of Carolina was mainly made up of Virginian settlers. The settlers

The plantation owners had much more profit without needing to pay for labor. For any wealthy person looking for easy money, a sugar plantation was the way to

South Carolina, a state with plenty of history and marshland was actually not discovered until a while after North America had been founded. In fact, Virginia was colonized almost sixty years before South Carolina was. However, European countries had beforehand attempted to colonize this area. In 1521 Francisco Gordillo, of Spain, sailed to the Carolina coast, he did not try to settle the area, but he did attempt to enslave the natives and send them to the Caribbeans. To have “settled” the area, would mean to have built a lasting community that can live on it’s own. Soon after, Lucas Vasquez de Ayllón brought 600 settlers to try and colonize the area. However they ran into many problems such as: weather, sickness, low food supplies, and hostility

The plantation made slavery a lucrative business because slavery anchored merchant capitalism. The slaves enriched planters of cotton, tobacco, indigo, and sugar.

The citizens of the Southern Colonies such as Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina were mainly successful with lots of crops; mostly tobacco and rice, which in turn gained a lot of money for them. These large plantations usually were farmed by forced labor of

This job is important because they used to be in charged of the slaves that work the farm area. The plantation owner harvests cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar, and indigo. Plantations usually ranged from 500 to 1000 acres that produce about 5000 plants. The main colony that do plantation are the southern colonies, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. The reason the south did more of plantation is because the geography and climate is just right for planting and harvesting. Georgia has great geography because there are hilly plains, fertile soil, forest, along rivers, and swamps. What the plantation owner does is sell crops to make a profit; a plantation owner harvests tobacco, rice, sugar cane, and indigo are all called cash crops. Cash crops are worth a lot of money. Plantation owner has little trouble transporting crops because there are many waterways and southern colonies have docks which makes it easy to tie ships to the port. Harvesting crops and making lots of money require lots of labor work, and that is why plantation owner had thousands of slaves. Since there are no machinery, oxen and horses were a;so often used to plow fields. Slaves, all genders had to work 18 hours nonstop a day; everyone had equal work proportions. Many generations of slaves were born in small crude cabins they are required to live in. The second job i will type about is cobbler. A cobbler is one of the earliest industries in the original 13 colonies. The shoemakers used to make one shoe the the same side as the other shoe. A cobbler makes a wooden frame for the start of the shoe, then tops the rest with leather. The third job i am going to type about is blacksmith. The word blacksmith means a black smitter of iron. Only blacksmiths in bigger cities created railing for balconies or gates. Lots of blacksmiths shops were small, dull, and barely lit. The main tools for the jobs are forge, bellows, anvil

The geography of south carolina made it difficult to settle for multiple reasons, one major reason was food. Everyone needs food and the settlers had to worry about the tides, they had to make sure that when the tide was high there crops were not being flooded by the tide. Another geographical issue that the settlers ran into

South Carolinas' successful economy during early South Carolina didn't just fall from the sky. It required a lot of time and hard work. The Native Americans, European Settlers, along with enslaved and free African Americans were all a very significant part of the developing economy for early South Carolina.

South Carolina State University was found in 1896 as a state sole public college for black youth it also have played a key role in the education of African- Americans in the state and the nation. It struggled to provide agricultural and mechanical training for generations of black youngsters. However, it extension program sent farm and home demonstration agents to rural counties to provide knowledge and information impoverished black farm families. This distinguished university has educated scores of teachers in the public
