Firstly, New England was not very harsh compared to other regions in North America and it was largely self-sufficient in agriculture. The main problem in New England was that it could not produce cash crops (i.e.) tobacco, indigo) on large plantations as in the south. Because of this, and a rapidly growing population, New England diversified its industries, starting with lumber production, shipbuilding, and then commerce (trade). Boston, and other towns which took shape, purposely invested into these industries to help them develop, especially shipbuilding. Because New England could not produce cash crops for profit, it provided shipping and traded its own timber and wheat with the West Indies in return for most their sugar. In New England, sugar and other imported goods eventually lead to manufacturing, where sugar, for example, was used to make rum and then resold to other markets, including the Native peoples. So, in conclusion, the New Englanders had to rely chiefly on exporting timber, wheat, conducting commerce (shipping and trade), building ships, and manufacturing.
