Amongst many southern states such as;Virginia, Maryland, North/South Carolina and Georgia, at that time there were many similarities and differences that led to greater disputes amongst these states. Such differences were how these states prospered for example as Virginia they prospered on tobacco while Maryland was open to Catholicism but had a death penalty for Jews. While Carolina flourished by developing close economic ties with the West Indies, due to the port of Charleston. Though these states have differences they also have many similarities that have had ties. Such as Virginia and Maryland both these states prospered on tobacco yet Virginia produced the tobacco and shipped it out to Maryland where it would be bought and sold to its people. Another example of this is Carolina before it was separated into two different states due to the fact that North Carolina consisted of a more aristocratic society that South Carolina where its people were known as squatters. In North Carolina it's people owned their own land while in South Carolina it's people did not own any land but payed others to farm on the land in addition to the crops that had to be given in. Though through these differences these states came together and created the United States.
