1. Land owners in the Southern colonies couldn't find enough people to work on their farms. What did they do to get these workers?

2. Which colonies used African-American slaves to work for them? Did these colonies have a different economy than those that didn't use slaves? How was it different?

3. Why did two Southern colonies not want slaves?

I understand number one and half of two, but number three is the one that confuses me.

I think Georgia was one southern colony that was resistant to slavery at first because they bordered Spanish Florida and they thought that the Spanish would start a slave revolt against them. As far as I know there was only one state that was resistant to slavery however the early methodists opposed slavery on moral grounds.
