9. what made the barrier islands off the coast of georgia attractive to spanish settlers?

Explanation:

Back then, it was said that Georgia was really rich in several good that was for Crown interest. The principal interest was the gold, because Spain Crown was supported and maintained by the Gold, they were really wasteful.

That's why was attractive for them.

Personally, Hernando de Soto wanted to achieved a higher social rank as a marquis, so that's why he was the first in enter those lands.

i think it was because of how protected egyptian civilization was was which allowed them to evolve without much outside influence.
