The colonies were foundational areas set for trade. North America was abundant with beans, cocoa, corn, peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, tobacco, tomatoes, and turkeys that set up the basis for trade. Europe, traded bananas, cattle, citrus fruits, grains, grapes, honeybees, horses, peaches, Pears, pigs, and sugarcane. Although these were the intentional trades, there were also diseases, that killed entire empires and tribes. Tobacco and other cash crops grown in the Americas created a new trade, in the southern colonies. The basis upon the South was agriculture. But they required large amounts of people to work these crops, creating a slave trade. The New England Colonies used manufacturing to create a profit. Merchants, fishing, shipbuilding, created skilled craftspeople in this area, forcing the need for better education. The middle colonies was a combination of both the north and the south. They grew staple crops, used slaves, but mostly indentured servants, they brought shipbuilding and merchants combined with these crops to create their economy.
