Question

2.1.9 quiz: southern colonies
question 9 of 10
the settlement of the carolinas was helped by:
a. a number of slave rebellions in barbados.
b. the limited availability of land in barbados.
c. the desire of barbados planters to change the plantation system.
d. the decrease in demand for sugar from barbados.

Explanation:

In the 17th - 18th centuries, Barbados had limited land for expansion due to its small size. Planters and settlers sought new land, and the Carolinas presented opportunities. Slave rebellions in Barbados would not aid settlement. There's no indication Barbados planters wanted to change the plantation system at that time to aid Carolina settlement, and a decrease in sugar demand from Barbados would not directly help Carolina settlement. The limited land in Barbados led some to move to the Carolinas.

Answer:

B. the limited availability of land in Barbados
