Question

Write a short paragraph answering the following question:

What do you think were the causes and effects of some of the differences between the colonies? For example, what
might have been the causes and effects of economic differences, such as resources and products?

Answer 1

Colonial America depended on the natural environment to meet basic needs of the people and the colony. The available natural resources provided (or in essence dictated) what each region’s unique specialty would be or become. Specialized economies quickly emerged as a result of human and environmental interaction.
