Final answer:
The Carolina colony had a policy of fairness towards Native Americans. Rice and indigo were valuable crops grown in the Southern colonies, particularly in South Carolina and Georgia. Only 2% of the population were slaves in New England.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the Carolina colony, known as South Carolina and later North Carolina, there was a policy of fairness towards Native Americans. The colony actively participated in the deerskin trade and traded with the British colonies in the islands. In return for trading goods like rice and indigo, the Carolina colony imported African slaves from those islands.
Rice and indigo were both valuable crops to grow in the Southern colonies, particularly in South Carolina and Georgia. The humid climate of the Carolina low country was well-suited for rice production, and the region became a major center of rice cultivation. Indigo, a plant used for producing blue dye, was also successfully grown in Carolina and exported to England.
The region where only 2% of the population were slaves was New England. In this area, most farmers focused on self-sufficiency and engaged in whaling, fishing, and shipbuilding for the export market.
