The colonies exported tea to Europe. Europe exported sugar and cotton to the colonies.

Answer 1

The colonies didn't have a lot of raw materials so I want to say that it is A. It can't be C or D. And Europe wouldn't have to go to the colonist for slaves because Africa was right there. I would say almost 100% that the ANSWER IS A.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) The colonies relied on manufactured goods from Europe. Europe relied on raw materials from the colonies.

During colonial times, a system of international interdependence developed between the American colonies and Europe. The option that correctly illustrates this relationship is "The colonies relied on manufactured goods from Europe. Europe relied on raw materials from the colonies."

Most European colonies had raw materials and natural resources that were exported to England and other countries in Europe. The middle colonies were known as the "Breadbasket of America" for the many cash crops they produced. Southern colonies also had fertile soil to grow crops such as cotton or corn. For instance, the colony of Jamestown, Virginia was known for its excellent tobacco crops that were well accepted in Europe.
