This essay must consider the topographical differences between the areas that ultimately became North and South Carolina. Students should examine the crops that predominated in each region, the social class of the farming population and how these characteristics affected the expansion of slavery. Then students must describe the purposes behind the founding of Georgia, both those of the crown and of the proprietors. Using these issues, students should continue by describing why the colony's charter limited individual freedoms and how these restrictions affected immigration.
