The westernmost regions were mountainous. The soil was perfect for farming and the growing season was longer than in any other region.
Detailed explanation-2: -Georgia: The southernmost of the first thirteen colonies was founded by James Oglethorpe in 1732. It was named after King George II of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both the New England colonies and the Southern colonies seemed as though they might be the same. They both started out with the majority of people being from England, they were both in the New World, and they were both ruled by England but, as time went on this theory was proven wrong.
