Southern+Colonies

=**:) ** __SOUTHERN COLONIES :) __=

By: Lexi, Kelly and matt :)Intro: The southern colonies are made up of four different colonies known as Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. All of this soil in these colonies was rich; therefore farming was very useful and popular. The warm climate made the resources in the colonies plentiful. Some of the most popular resources were tobacco, corn, rice, pigs, indigo and bread. Indigo Many of the English settlers owned large plantations and this increased the need for enslaved Africans.  Olaudah Equiano  =matt=  Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa as he was known to English settlers was born in 1745 in Essake and died in 1797. Equaino was kidnapped at the age of 11 where he was sent to the West Indies and then sent to Virginia. After the kidnapping he was sold into enslavement and worked for a British Naval officer in Virginia. Equiano was sent back to England in 1762 but then sent back to America where he was a slave for another man. He bought his freedom and got shipped back to England where he became an abolitionist. He told people how cruel the British slave owners were to the Jamaican slaves. He wrote a two volume biography of his life. Equiano is often known as the originator of the slave narrative because he wrote firsthand about his argues against the slave trade. From Olaudah Equiano we learned about what happens when different cultures meet. In this case, the Americans only thought about themselves and the Africans were enslaved. Vocabulary: 1) Slave trade- the business or process of procuring, transporting, and selling slaves, esp. black Africans to the New World prior to the mid-19th century. 2) Enslave- to make a slave of somebody or something. 3) Abolitionist- a person who advocated or supported the abolition of slavery in the U.S. "Vassa, Gustavus." //Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia.// Grolier Online, 2010.

//**__How do climate and geography influence society? __**// **The climate and geography influence society in the Southern Colonies in many different ways. If the climate wasn’t hot and sunny then all of the crops wouldn’t grow! Without the hot weather the people might starve to death. That’s because all of the animals that they kill and eat wouldn’t have plants to feed on and the population of animals would go down. That would ruin the society too. If the geography in the southern colonies was different too then they wouldn’t have places to build their house plant their crops and everything else that they need to have in order to survive. ** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">CLOTHING: __<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">http://go.grolier.com/ __ · <span style="font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Used spinning wheels ( girls 6-7) · <span style="font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">No need to wear clothing · <span style="font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Animal fur · <span style="font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Clothing was to protect their bodies · <span style="font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">They used animal horns for jewelry

] **//<span style="color: #0f0fd2; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">How is American culture influenced by other cultures from all over the world? //** <span style="color: #1baac7; font-family: 'Hobo Std','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">American culture was very much influenced by other cultures from all over the world. Cultures from around the world were enslaving Africans, and when the southern colonies realized that they had such a big need for large labor forces. They had so much farming land and not enough workers. They saw that so many other courtiers were enslaving Africans and decided to do that too. The Africans that they enslaved also had a large effect on their culture. They brought jazz music, religion, spiritual beliefs, and more to America. They also brought stories of their experience in other countries and in their “home” country, Africa. Without the African slaves we would not know as much as we do about other countries. The African slaves brought much to America and without them we wouldn’t have as much of the things, like jazz music, that we have today.
