The correct answer is "Nearly everything they needed was made at home." Backcountry colonists had to rely on their own skills and resources to meet their needs, as they were often located far away from commercial centers and had limited access to goods and services. Therefore, they had to be more self-sufficient and produce everything they needed themselves. Plantation owners, on the other hand, often relied on the labor of enslaved individuals to produce cash crops for export and could afford to purchase goods and services from the market.

The correct answer is "It was the first written expression of citizens’ rights by the colonists." The Mayflower Compact, signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620, was a written agreement that established a self-governing colony in Plymouth. It emphasized the idea of consent of the governed and marked an early example of self-government in the New World. While it did not explicitly outline specific citizens' rights, it laid the foundation for later developments of democratic principles in the American colonies.

The Mayflower Compact was a document signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower ship in 1620.

This compact recognized the rights and responsibilities of the colonists in making decisions and contributed to the development of democratic principles in early American history.

The correct answer is: "Each had a different system based on the charter agreed upon with the king of England."

Some were royal colonies, directly under the control of the king, while others were proprietary colonies, where the king granted land and governing rights to individuals or groups. Therefore, the governmental relationship with England in the Middle Colonies varied based on the specific charters that were established.

The correct answers are:
- Colonists in the backcountry were primarily self-sufficient.
- Colonists in the backcountry were poor and couldn't afford slaves.
The backcountry of the Southern colonies had fewer slaves compared to areas closer to the coast for various reasons. Backcountry colonists were more self-sufficient and relied less on large-scale plantation agriculture, which often required a significant number of slaves. Additionally, the backcountry was generally characterized by poorer settlers who couldn't afford to purchase slaves. Therefore, the lack of economic need and financial resources contributed to the lower prevalence of slavery in the backcountry of the Southern colonies.
