16. Which reason led to the establishment of colonies in both Virginia and the
Carolinas?

By the end of the seventeenth century, Virginia had established tobacco as its main crop, a representative government, and slavery as a dominant system of labor. In 1606, a group of wealthy London businessmen petitioned King James I for a charter to establish a colony in the New World.

At first the colony was based on exports of foodstuffs to the West Indies and of turpentine, tar, and furs to Europe. Then rice was introduced from Madagascar, and the South Carolinians developed large plantations which grew rice and indigo very profitably.
