It soon was grown on large plantations and became the primary export crop of South Carolina. The large rice plantations transformed South Carolina into a profitable and highly aristocratic colony. The colony of North Carolina served as a haven for poor farmers and rejects from Virginia. Poor farmers were able to establish small farms on which they could grow tobacco and other crops. This, however, did not allow North Carolina to establish a strong plantation economy. It also proved difficult to establish a large plantation economy in George due to their poor climate and early restrictions on slavery.
The religious toleration found in the plantation colonies encouraged various religious groups to establish their foundation in the south. One important motive for colonization was religious freedom and reprieve from persecution. Although it was rare to find absolute religious freedom, many southern colonies provided tolerance for certain religious groups. Virginia provided its colonists with some religious freedom, but many of its settlers remained members of the Church of England.
