Week+3+-+Establishing+the+Southern+Colonies

=Establishing the Southern Colonies=

Attempting to establish a permanent colony in the New World was not easy. Many of the first colonists who tried ended up losing their lives as a result of famine, disease, and conflicts with the native people. This week we will examine the key people and factors that allowed for the successful attainment of permanent settlements in the South, as well as compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Southern colonies and debate the role slavery had in the South's ability to achieve economic success.

=Objectives=


 * Identify the factors that contributed to the success/failure of early colonial settlements in the South.
 * Compare and contrast the political, economic, religious, and social situations of the Southern colonies.
 * Examine and evaluate the different perspectives that led to Africans becoming slaves (instead of indentured servants) for the colonists.
