USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Southern Colonies were established as economic ventures and were seeking natural resources to provide material wealth to the mother country and themselves. In contrast, the early New England colonists were primarily religious reformers and separatists.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purposes of the representatives of the Virginia Company of London, who landed at present-day Jamestown in May 1607, were not only to colonize but also to Christianize, to open new areas for trade, and to guard against further inroads by the Spanish, who already had colonized what is now Florida.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main reason for establishing a colony so far from the English homeland was purely economic. The colonists hoped to find gold and spices and land to grow crops.

Detailed explanation-4: -The newly created province was intended in part to serve as an English bulwark to contest lands claimed by Spanish Florida. There was a single government of the Carolinas based in Charleston until 1712, when a separate government (under the Lords Proprietors) was set up for North Carolina.
