What was the main way of earning a living in the colonies?

It depended on which section of the American Colonies you lived in. Because the soil was so rocky and poor for agriculture. The New England Colonies depended on such things as '''fishing and whaling; lumbering; shipbuilding; and trade to build up their economy.''' For the Middle and Southern Colonies, the major way to make a living was done '''by farming crops and livestock; and trade'''. Of course, as the colonies grew, other forms of business and industry opened up for employment. Some of them included '''ironmaking; grist mills; paper mills; brewing; glassmaking; brickmaking; ropemaking; blacksmith; and various types of shops.'''
