Fewer towns developed in the southern colonies compared to the New England colonies because the southern region had large plantations that were spread further apart, leading to a more rural and decentralized settlement pattern. The economy in the southern colonies was based on cash crops like tobacco and rice, which required large tracts of land and fewer workers, whereas the New England colonies had smaller farms and a more diversified economy that supported more compact town development.

Bacterial colonies arise when bacterial cell get sufficient amount of nutrient and favourable condition like optimum temprature and pH. These factor influence the multiplication of bacterial cells which leads in the formation of their colonies, this can be observed in laboratory by growing bacterial cells on nutrient agar medium and on incubate it in incubator at specific temp. the colonies on petriplates of nutrient agar shows distince morphology by different bactreial species.

Why did the regions of New England colonies middle colonies and southern colonies develop differently?

Not well known is that slavery was prevalent in all of the colonies though the colonies we think of when the subject comes up are the Southern Colonies. In fact most of the slave ships were owned by merchants in New England and were a big part of the Triangle Trade at this time between New England, South Africa and the West Indies. The Religion of the Colonies before the Great awakening was somewhat varied but mainly only in the Middle Colonies. The main religion in New England were the Puritans, in the Southern Colonies it was the Anglican and in the Middle Colonies it was the Anglican, Protestant, and the Quakers. The Economy in New England centered around trade because farming was difficult with rocky soil. The main staples were Fishing, Timber, Rum, some slave trade, and shipbuilding over seen by wealthy merchants. In the Southern Colonies it was the staple crops of Rice, Tobacco, and Indigo (before the revolution) and Cotton (after). These crops were grown on large plantations owned by wealthy white males and worked by African slaves. In the middle colonies the economy was supported by both trade and farming with and emphasis on Wheat. Finally the society of New England was based off of the Puritan religion but over all had a balanced class system mainly made up of a wealthy merchant class. The Middle Colonies again had a fairly balanced class system though instead of merchants it centered around farming communities. The Southern Colonies were ruled by Patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically ruled by the father of a household; woman, children, and his slaves all had to submit to him as the owner of them. Keep in mind this is all before the revolution and I haven't even tried to discuss the Great Awakening of the time.


How did the geography of the southern colonies help the colonists?

The geography of the Southern Colonies included large forests and miles upon miles of fertile farmland. This allowed the colonists to engage in the timber trade and fur trade as well as develop large plantations. Since the western portion of each Southern Colony bordered the ocean, it made it easy for them to export lots of tobacco, cotton, furs, and timber to England.


What did the colonies develop as a result of Englands policy of salutary neglect?

Salutary neglect was a very "hands-off" approach to the colonies by England. It was a method intended to keep the colonies favorably obedient to England. In the American colonies it, instead, fostered self-control and self-governance which led to the Revolutionary War.
