The document summarizes the early colonial history of the southern colonies of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. It discusses the founding and development of Charleston, the division of North and South Carolina, the establishment of Georgia as a buffer colony, and the rise of the plantation system and slavery in the southern colonies. The use of indentured servants and Native Americans as labor failed, while African slaves succeeded due to the slave trade bringing Africans who were isolated by language and skin color and had little chance of escaping.
