Which of the original thirteen colonies is being described below? Free land was offered to immigrants that would come to the area, be patient, and wait for cities to spring up around them. Unfortunately, few people came here until many years later when the city Charles Towne was established. By 1663, the economy was driven by plantations that grew rice and indigo and were worked by indentured servants and slaves. The plantation owners were very wealthy and lived like nobles.

This description talks about South Carolina, because before its independence, it was called the Province of Carolina and was established while the king Charles I ruled over England, and he promoted colonization and migration to this territory as a way to gain political support. The easy access to land and the profitable agricultural activities supported by slavery helped the rise of many wealthy families that lived like nobles.
