Step-by-step explanation:
the new England colonies had cold weather and hard rocky soil. that means that they couldn't grow many things, so they chose shipbuilding for money.
the middle colonies had a mild climate and could grow some things. they are best know for being called the bread basket bc they grew a lot of wheat.
the southern colonies were very hot but had good soil. they found tobacco to be a great cash crop. the slaves were forced to work in the plantations.
