What contributed to the rise of Gullah culture in Georgia and South Carolina in colonial North America was the fact that African people from many cultures were forced into slavery on the same plantations, leading to a blended culture.

Explanation:

Gullah is an English-based Creole language, spoken in the southern region of South Carolina and mainly in the Sea Islands by African-Americans. It has an important lexical influence of African languages such as Wolof or Ewe, as well as words of English origin.

It used to extend from Cape Fear in North Carolina to the vicinity of Jacksonville, Florida, but today it has been limited to the coastal counties of South Carolina and Georgia.
