During these times there wasn't much to go off of they went through a rough period in Jamestown called the starving time. I'm sure you know the story about Pocahontas and John Smith. Pocahontas married another man wwho came over named John Rolfe , tobacco was brought into the colony and thats who they got their economic boost. From then on the king started giving off land . Maryland i believe was for the King's friends only AKA the rich. Georgia was a buffer colony . Pennsylvania was a Quaker colony , if you eat oatmeal that's where that comes from.But the growth of the colonies continued and we had the 13 colonies . Did that help at all ?
