Southern Colonies Case Study

Improved Essays
Dear Parliament and Royal Court of Britain, I will provide a recommendation and information about the Southern colonial region. The Southern colonial region has a rather humid climate, consisting with mild winters and humid summers. Depending on the happening of the battle, it can either be a positive or a negative consequence. If the battle is in summer, then our fighting colonists may be in bad conditions. If the battle is in winter, then they will be unharmed in the weather.
For its economic characteristics, its products include natural resources such as cotton and various wood products. Those resources are not suitable for war, which is a downside. I say that they have a difficult time with building tools and weapons. However, there is a plentiful amount of cotton, which means

One individual will make the decisions for its colony. The leadership could be helpful or useless. If he makes poor decisions, then the battle will end with us being unsuccessful and is reversed for being beneficial. Also, there are few cities and schools scattered around this region. This can be useful by the colonists always having a source for supplies. This can be a disadvantage because the colonists might have to walk more than a few miles to its nearest source. The Southern colonial region’s social and cultural characteristics includes slavery and indentured servants. This benefits the region because that indicates that they have more assistance than the Mid-Atlantic and the New England regions.
The colonists’ motivation is the most vital asset for the duel against the French and Britain. I can say that they are willing to risk their lives for its region and for England. Many churches around its colonies and Britain-styled mansions examples of their large amount of devotion.
My recommendation on this is the Southern colonies are fairly ready to go to war against the French and its

    After the battle of Saratoga the British army would suffer a defeat that would incur both an embarrassing defeat and crippling blow when it came to the French entrance into the war. During the Southern Campaigns, the British could contribute their failure of the campaign based on an assumption that the Southern Colonies would provide a strong enough Loyalist volunteer pool to reinforce British regulars to render support against a French invading force, and avoid deploying reinforcements from the European theater. During the beginning phases of operations for the British during the Southern Campaign they would experience success on the battlefield, however on the latter phase of the operation they would be defeated by Continental forces. Both…

    Our king has been receiving resistance from the colonies since 1765 until this day when the war has ended,and the winner has been declared. It is only fair that we receive opinions and concerns from both the victors and the losers. The king is not very keen on the fact that his own people rebelled, which was vividly illustrated by his actions and words, Such as this quote straight from our former king’s mouth to your very own reliable newspaper, “Everyone who does not agree with me is a traitor and a scoundrel”, and also by actively punishing the people of the colonies with the so called “Coercive Acts”…

    Due to the geographic differences between the Northern and Southern colonies, the development of their economies was based off of different goods and services. In the South, with its “temperate climate and long growing season” (Davidson, et al 88), colonists found that the soil was fertile and therefore suitable for the large scale growth of first, tobacco, but later other crops including indigo, rice, and cotton. Southern colonist could grow these crops essentially all year as the temperature in the region remained the same. Unfortunately, the geography of the region did not allow for “good harbors and navigable rivers” (Davidson, et al 74), ensuring that the Southern colonies would remain mostly agricultural. In contrast, the Northern colonies…

We discussed why cotton was in such high demand and how it was used. We then talked about how difficult it was to pick cotton and separate the seeds from it. The book gave us a chart that showed how much cotton one person could pick in a day.…
