Question 16

To determine why Southern colonies were profitable, we analyze the options:

• Option A: Support from Britain isn't the main reason for their profitability.
• Option B: Southern colonies' profitability came from cash crops (cotton, tobacco, indigo, timber) grown on plantations, which matches the description.
• Option C: Stealing gold from Native Americans is not accurate for Southern colonies' economy.
• Option D: Slave trading was part of the economy but not the primary reason for profitability; the cash crops were key.

The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery. The 14th deals with citizenship, 15th with voting rights for African Americans, and 18th with Prohibition.

Answer:

B. The real valuable items in the south simply grew out of the ground (cotton, tobacco, indigo, timber, etc...)
