They were able to own un-taxable land for farming. They were kept safe as Lords Proprietors promised protection. They were given access to free and cheap land.

Explanation:

The proprietary system was a system which the British colonial government used in order to rapidly settle people in their colonies. In the system, the government granted charters for groups and individuals to rule, or practice full rights on land. The reason as to why they did this was that, settling was a very expensive venture during that time, hence free settlement was a guaranteed incentive.
