Best Answer

The Southern colonies had large expanses of fertile soil ideal for large tobacco plantations. The weather was ideal for many settlers as the northern British colonies had cold winters. The Coastlines of these colonies were also suitable for good harbors. This would allow for the speedy export of tobacco and any cotton crops. Charleston, South Carolina is an excellent example of a harbor and warm weather. Including mild Winters.
