Maryland's colonists made a living just like all the other colonists did. Some jobs were farming, shoemaker's, lumberman, craftsmen, fishing and trading. Trading? Whats Trading? What kind of stuff did they trade?Trading is something were two people or more swap an item another person wants. To trade something to some person you both have to agree on something. Some stuff they traded was rice, indigo, beans, squash, and corn. Also known as the three sisters. But the main thing the colonists did sell or trade was dried tobacco leaves. Back then tobacco was known as the colony's cash crop. That's how most of there money got to them.
