The New England colonies
The southern colonies had an agricultural economy, with cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo driving their prosperity. Slave labor played a significant role in the economy of the southern colonies, especially in large plantations. Trade with Europe also played a key role in the economy of the southern colonies.
The South's economy was based on Farming. They used African American Slaves to do the work. There were few factories, unlike the North who had an industrial economy.
slaves, cotton, farming, that sort of stuff
Slaves played the part of farming. Very little of the farming population in the southern colonies was white. They of course made cotton, and also took care of children and cooked. They did the dirty work, in a nutshell. :)
