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 New England and Middle Colonies engaged in the Triangular Trade route, which involved the exchange of goods, including raw materials, manufactured products, and slaves, between Africa, the West Indies, and North America. This trade network was instrumental in the economic development of the colonies, as it facilitated the exchange of goods and resources across the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the Triangular Trade route contributed to the growth of industries such as shipbuilding and commerce in these colonies.
