Answer:
>> To farm the rich soil found there.
Explanation:
Southern Colonies established around the 1630's, and they had great profits thanks to crops of tobacco, dye and rice. Soil was rich and fertile as a result of the warm and humid climate from the South. Due to the fast growing crop industry, workers were not enough and African slaves became very popular on the Southern Colonies.
Due to the big demand and growing population of slaves, big inequality between social classes happened, which brought conflicts in the future.
