were built near the coastline and
other bodies of water for ease of
transportation and trade.
Natural harbors led to the growth of
trade in the English colonies.

best soil and climate for large-
scale agriculture. Slavery flourished
more in the Southern Colonies
than elsewhere.

SOUTHERN COLONIES
The need for agricultural workers
in the tobacco fields led to the use
of enslaved people from Africa. The
transatlantic slave trade began
when African tribes exchanged
captive Africans with European
slave traders who transported
them to the Americas under
inhumane conditions.
