which of these southern colonies had the first colonial representative body and depended on exporting tobacco? georgia virginia delaware the carolinas
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Virginia had the House of Burgesses (1619), the first colonial representative body in America. Tobacco was Virginia's main cash crop, with John Rolfe's tobacco strains making it a major export. Georgia was later - founded (1732) and had different early economies (like silk production attempts). Delaware was part of the Middle Colonies (though its colonial status was complex, but not the first with a representative body in the Southern context here). The Carolinas (split later) had their own colonial developments but after Virginia's House of Burgesses.
