Answer 2

Answer: region’s rich soil and long growing season, fostered the development of strong agricultural producing colonies.

The area of the New England colonies had very fertile soil and enjoyed a long growing season, which made them an exporter of wheat and other grains. The land was also much cheaper than in Europe, which encouraged new arrivals that contributed to the diversity of the colonies. Soon, the colonies became strong agricultural producers, contributing to the economy and the significant wealth of the area.
