The Southern Colonies will prove to be an asset rather than a challenge for England during the war between England and France because of the geography, climate, economic, political and social life of the Southern Colonies. The benefits of the geography and climate of this region are that it is rich in timber, close to the coast which provides fish, there is a long growing season, the climate is warm and the winters are short and mild. The challenges of the geography and climate are that there are many slaves who may not be willing to fight and that the warm climate results in diseases spreading quickly. The benefits of the economics of this region are that there is a long growing season, many fish and a lot of livestock which means a lot…

The criteria for a well established colony could be the colonies life expectancy, education opportunities, job opportunities, overall economy, weather climate, religious structure, topography, conflicts, and political system.…
One cold and dreary day in January, I got home from an uneventful day at school. I never would have guessed what was about to happen or thought that this would ever happen to me. I was just a quiet freshman in high school. My father sat down with my family and told us that we were about to move to Texas. I was both shocked and a little excited to move because I’ve always wanted to go south.…
I chose Texas, and since then I have learned it is sometimes better to move than it is to stay in one place. 'Pulling up roots' can be difficult, but sometimes it is necessary for the plant to blossom. My family had lived in Maryland for generations. It was hard to leave my grandparents, cousins, my brothers and sister, and of course, my parents. My friends…

People ask me all the time would I move back to New York and my answer will remain, no not if I don't have to…
When Black southerners moved to the North for better jobs and opportunities, they were forced to abandon their regional identity. In order to identify their southern identity, 1.3 million African Americans started migrating back to the South. Your attachment of the region is the southern identity regardless of where you are living. This attachment is one of the cultural characteristics that continue to make southerners distinctive in the larger nation. The new arrivals of college educated progressive black people obliterated segregation and the modern South was completely changed.…

Most people do not have the amazing grace with being born with such strong bond to a community as I do. Ever since I was little I knew that I was southern, even though I did not like it all of the time; I was part of it. As I grow up I get to see more and more of how much of a strong community we are. Even though some of us might not have been born here like I was, when we come together we are all one of the same, just one big not always happy family.…
