The correct match is:
Virginia - Economic reason
Virginia was founded primarily for economic reasons, particularly for the pursuit of wealth through the cultivation of tobacco.
The other matches are incorrect:
- Maryland was founded for religious reasons, specifically as a haven for Catholics.
- Georgia was founded for a variety of reasons, including as a buffer against Spanish Florida and as a place for debtors, but it also had social and military considerations rather than purely religious ones.
- Pennsylvania was founded for political and religious reasons, particularly as a haven for Quakers.
So, the correct answer is Virginia - Economic reason.
