How did most colonies in the southern make a living

Most colonies in the south of the US had a suitable farming climate, as well as warm - hot weather, which allowed for a large range of crops to be grown, from cash crops (tobacco, cotton, etc.) to edibles. Most essentially owned pieces of lands to farm on.

you are very ugly bro

explanation:

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
