Help please!

When colonists first began settling in North America, they settled the area between the coast and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Why do you think this was so?

Respuesta :

The area was generally flat and good for growing crops. Settlers could travel upriver fairly easily, but only until they reached the fall line further travel upstream on the rivers was difficult from that point on.
Hope this helps :)
