they planted and harvested cash crops in the rocky soil
Rum ;p
because by selling or trading slaves they earned money for their economy
The Northern colonies (or New England colonies) practiced subsistence farming. Some of the world's best fishing grounds were discovered near here. They had lots of lumber to sell. Basically, they sold their resources for money. The Southern colonies had plantations. They typically grew rice, tobacco, and other things. They were introduced to slaves, and became the "slave region." There were many economic and social issues with their use of slaves. It set the Southern colonies on a different path than the Middle and New England colonies. North - Richer - better jobs. South - Poorer - not much education.
The group of colonies that grew cash crops on plantations and used black slaves for farming were centralized. These colonies were in the south.
Slaves significantly contributed to the economic success of the southern colonies by providing a large, inexpensive labor force for labor-intensive cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and cotton. Their forced labor allowed plantation owners to maximize profits and expand agricultural production, which was central to the region's economy. Additionally, the wealth generated from slave labor contributed to the growth of associated industries and infrastructure, further entrenching the economic system reliant on slavery. This system not only enriched individual plantation owners but also strengthened the overall economic framework of the southern colonies.
The slave economy was more leaning on the South rather than the Middle and the New England Colonies.
Southern Colonies had slaves to do their work on the plantation, Middle Colonies had some slaves but they were kinda in the middle, while the New England Colonies had no slaves.
New England colonies labor forces are to sell slaves and trade.

Many salve owners in the middle colonies would use either their fists or whips to beat slaves.
They didn't trade for either. New England and middle colonies didn't have gold or slaves.
The import economy of the Spanish colonies was sugar, molasses, and slaves. The export economy was rice, tobacco, and rum.
Barley any slaves.
Yes, the Middle Colonies did have slaves, but slavery was not as prevalent as in the Southern Colonies. Some of the Middle Colonies, like New York and Pennsylvania, began to abolish slavery earlier than other regions in the country.

Immigrants and slaves
In the middle colonies, the experience of slaves was generally less harsh compared to the southern colonies, where the plantation system dominated. Middle colonies often had a more diverse economy with smaller farms, allowing for a somewhat less oppressive environment, and some slaves could earn wages or gain limited autonomy. In contrast, southern colonies relied heavily on slave labor for large-scale agriculture, leading to brutal conditions and a more rigid racial hierarchy. Additionally, the social dynamics in the southern colonies reinforced a more entrenched system of slavery compared to the relatively more integrated society of the middle colonies.
