The Southern colonies attracted few immigrants because:
  1. New England developed such excellent strategies to attract migrants
  2. Few Europeans were comfortable living among so many slaves
  3. Their relationship with Europe was often strained
  4. There were few jobs and little land
  5. The climate was intolerable
Explanation
Answer: D - There were few jobs and little land to be had in the Southern colonies, which were dominated by plantations.
