Settlers were originally attracted to the south primarily for which of he following reasons? a. rich soil b. extensive forest areas c. varied climate d. relatively flat landscape

A. Rich soil

Explanation:

The settlers in the South have been attracted initially by the rich soil. The reason why the rich soil was something that was so appealing to the people was that the majority of the profit in that period was made through the agriculture.

Having good soil at disposal, as well as good climate conditions, meant that the new settlers can create large plantations of cash crops. The cash crops were in high demand, and they were bringing in good profit. The people saw the South as good place where they can profit, start a new life, and progress, so they flocked into it.

The crop that was the most attractive to plant by the settlers in the South was the tobacco, which was rapidly gaining on popularity on the other side of the Atlantic.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
