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.

Why did the regions of New England colonies middle colonies and southern colonies develop differently?
Not well known is that slavery was prevalent in all of the colonies though the colonies we think of when the subject comes up are the Southern Colonies. In fact most of the slave ships were owned by merchants in New England and were a big part of the Triangle Trade at this time between New England, South Africa and the West Indies. The Religion of the Colonies before the Great awakening was somewhat varied but mainly only in the Middle Colonies. The main religion in New England were the Puritans, in the Southern Colonies it was the Anglican and in the Middle Colonies it was the Anglican, Protestant, and the Quakers. The Economy in New England centered around trade because farming was difficult with rocky soil. The main staples were Fishing, Timber, Rum, some slave trade, and shipbuilding over seen by wealthy merchants. In the Southern Colonies it was the staple crops of Rice, Tobacco, and Indigo (before the revolution) and Cotton (after). These crops were grown on large plantations owned by wealthy white males and worked by African slaves. In the middle colonies the economy was supported by both trade and farming with and emphasis on Wheat. Finally the society of New England was based off of the Puritan religion but over all had a balanced class system mainly made up of a wealthy merchant class. The Middle Colonies again had a fairly balanced class system though instead of merchants it centered around farming communities. The Southern Colonies were ruled by Patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically ruled by the father of a household; woman, children, and his slaves all had to submit to him as the owner of them. Keep in mind this is all before the revolution and I haven't even tried to discuss the Great Awakening of the time.

Why did the ideology of paternalism gain currency among planters in the nineteenth century?
Paternalism was a way for planters to justify their power and control over enslaved people by characterizing it as benevolent care for their well-being. It helped maintain social order and prevent slave revolts by creating a sense of dependence and loyalty among the enslaved population. Additionally, paternalism allowed planters to uphold the institution of slavery while still portraying themselves as compassionate and morally upright individuals.
