Question

In what ways did the physical characteristics of Plymouth Plantation influence the economic activities of the Pilgrims?

Answer 1

The physical characteristics of Plymouth Plantation influenced the economic activities of the Pilgrims in many ways. Simply stated, it affected their imports and exports. What was available to the Pilgrims from the land at Plymouth Plantation was sold to other (primarily European) countries or colonies (although there were few other established colonies at this time.) This is how the pilgrims made a profit. But, Plymouth Plantation’s land also limited some of the Pilgrim’s recourses. So, they had to spend money buying supplies and tools from other countries. This is where their profit was spent. This import and export system overall strengthened the colonist’s economic opportunities.
