Answer:
It led to a variety of economic differences between northern, middle, and southern colonies
Step-by-step explanation:
New England’s geography = subsistence farming economy.
- Forests = shipbuilding, trade, & fishing.
- Less dependent on slavery = impacted democratic views.
- Mid-Atlantic colonies: fertile soil & moderate climate = exported food stuffs
(breadbasket colonies)
- Large working families instead of slave labor.
later on
factories, industrialization & a big tax base
Southern colonies: fertile soil & slave labor = exported cash crops (tobacco,
rice, & indigo).
- Regions developed “triangular trade” with the Caribbean, Africa, & Europe.
- Trade/economic development impacted by England’s mercantilist policies
farms & a much smaller tax base
