How did the climate influence the economies of the southern colonies?

∙ 8y ago
In the northern colonies, it was rocky and there were lots of forests, so they made lumber, built ships, had more busy cities, and had good fishing.
In the southern colonies, there was fertile soil and a hotter climate, which was good for growing cash crops. Also, it was mostly rural.
In the middle colonies, there was a large variety of land, which was good for growing tobacco and indigo. They were mostly farmers, but fishing, lumber, and shipbuilding were also common. These colonies were a cross between the north and south.
Just did this for 7th grade social studies hw... hope its helpful!
