How the Proprietors Made Money
• Many people wanted to own their own land, but few could afford it.
• The headright system helped wealthier people.

How the Proprietors Made Money
• A "quit-rent" is where you own the land as long as you pay rent on it.
• The quit-rent system enabled poorer people to own land.

How the Proprietors Made Money
• While the amount paid in quit-rent was small, it added up for the proprietor.

The Maryland Colony
• George Calvert founded Maryland as a place for Catholics to go.
• Remember - Catholics were not very popular in England.

The Maryland Colony
• In 1632, a group of 200 Catholics and 2 priests came and founded Maryland near Virginia. They had a pretty easy time since Jamestown could help out, and they came prepared.

The Maryland Colony
• The problem was, more Puritans would end up coming to Maryland than Catholics.
• This caused religious tension in the colony.

The Maryland Colony

The Carolinas
• South Carolina found success in growing indigo, a type of plant which made an excellent purple dye.
• North Carolina was much poorer, and they made most of their money growing tobacco.

Georgia

Georgia
• First, Georgia was an experiment in social reform, they sent debtors and petty criminals there to start a new life.
• Colonists were not allowed to drink or gamble, etc.

Georgia
• But, they did not mend their ways. The colony succeeded by growing rice and indigo, but the social experiment failed.
• Slavery and the plantation system took over the economy.
