Why was trade so important to the colonies?
Trade among the 13 British Colonies were important to themselves and to their founding nation Great Britain. Waterfalls in the Northern colonies fostered water powered manufacturing. The goods produced could be traded and sold to colonies in the southern areas where there was much less manufacturing but more crop lands. These southern colonies could sell and trade cotton and tobacco to England, Europe and among the other colonies. The fishing trades in the New England colonies and those in the middle colonies were sources of food and of course revenue. The colony of New Jersey was famous for its smaller berry crops. Basically the colonists traded and sold numerous products even the fur trade was a prosperous business. At the time of the 13 colonies transport by ships across the Atlantic or on major rivers and canals helped their economies.
