How could we have a successful Spanish Southern US? I aim for at least the entire Deep South. A point of divergence could be De Soto finding the gold in Georgia. Another one could be the Ayllón expedition succeeding in establishing a colony in South Carolina in 1526. The colony was supposed to be a settlement colony instead of an exploitation one. Yet another one could be Tristán de Luna y Arellano succeed in establishing a colony in the Gulf Coast, which could allow Spain to control the Mississippi long before France.
Would the Spanish colony develop the same slave dependant cash crop agriculture that the English Southern colonies did in our timeline?
