indicate the similarities and differences among the southern colonies of virginia, maryland, north carolina, south carolina, and georgia

Tobacco was commonly grown everywhere, but North and South Carolinas grew a lot of rice as well.  Slavery was also common in all plantation colonies. Confrontations with native Americans was also common. Maryland depended a lot on Catholic religion as a way of life, and if you didn't have a religion, or were jew, then you would be killed. Unlike Maryland, Georgia, was meant to be a haven for wretched souls in debt. Viriginia had a self-government and North and South Carolina expanded by developing close economic ties with the West Indies.
