Colonial Life
Hello my name is James Browne, and I am from the South Carolina colony. I am 31 years of age. I am un married and sailed to the new world with my brother Rob. I, much like the other colonists in South Carolina are looking to make a financial gain from moving to the new world. With the money I collect I send back home more than 50% of it.

I own my own tobacco plantation in South Carolina it is called Browne's Tobacco, so far I have make a lot of money off of my plantation. So far my experience in the colonies has been wonderful. I am getting rich and spending plenty of time with my friends playing snooker.
