Questions: Which factor would have contributed to the cultural difference in the Carolina region compared to other North American colonies? Most of the land granted was inhabited by the Spanish, not the English. The land was settled largely by Puritans. Native American tribes previously inhabited the land. Enslaved people were brought to the land from Barbados.

The answer is: Enslaved people were brought to the land from Barbados.

This option is not accurate. While the Spanish did have a presence in parts of what is now the southeastern United States, the specific cultural differences in the Carolina region were more directly influenced by other factors.

This is incorrect. The Puritans primarily settled in the New England region, particularly in Massachusetts. The Carolina region was not predominantly settled by Puritans, so this would not be a significant factor in its cultural differences.

While it is true that Native American tribes inhabited the land before European settlers arrived, this was a common factor across all North American colonies. Therefore, it does not uniquely explain the cultural differences in the Carolina region compared to other colonies.

This is the correct answer. The Carolina region, particularly South Carolina, was significantly influenced by settlers from Barbados who brought with them enslaved Africans and a plantation-based economy. This led to a distinct cultural and economic development in the Carolinas, characterized by large plantations and a reliance on enslaved labor, which was different from many other North American colonies.
