Question

Which colony region did not focus on any water based economics?
​

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf Southern \ colonies}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The New England Colonies had to rely on a maritime economy. The harsh environment with rocky soil just wasn't fit to farm. They had to trade furs, fish, build ships and raise livestock.

The Middle Colonies didn't have a full dependence on the water, since they mostly produced grain. They did have a small shipbuilding industry though.

The Southern Colonies had no water based economics at all. They had warm temperatures and fertile soil, which were the perfect conditions for agriculture. They were almost entirely based around plantations and cash crops, like cotton, indigo, and tobacco.

So, the colonial region that didn't focus on water-based economics was the Southern Colonies.
