OKay so here's the question: North Carolina was the least typical of the five plantation colonies (MD,VA,NC,SC,GA). To what extent is this statement accurate.

So far I've gotten information from the American Pageant book and some from the internet.

Colonies:
All outposts exporting agricultural products.
Produced profitable staple crops.
Had Slaves
Marginal Religious toleration
Scattered farms kept growth limited
CHurch of England - dominant faith ( except in NC)
Big plantations (except in NC)

NC:
smallers farms
"the quintessence of Virginia's discontent"
reputation for being irreligious
most democratic
most independent minded
least aristocratic

I was just wondering about the best way to answer a "to what extent" question and also looking for more information to support my paper.
Thanks = )
