How did life differ in southern colonies?

Life in the Southern Colonies differed significantly from other regions in several ways. The economy was heavily based on agriculture, with plantations producing cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo, which relied on enslaved labor. Social structures were hierarchical, with a small number of wealthy plantation owners at the top and a large population of enslaved individuals at the bottom. Additionally, the climate and fertile land supported a more rural lifestyle, leading to less urban development compared to the Northern Colonies.
