Colonial America was definitely the place to be during the colonization. busineses boomed because there was no competition. But the colonies WERE eventually divided into zones based on the type of crops and other industries that were prominent in the regions. For example, from presentday Maryland down to Georgia, cash crops like tobacco and eventually cotton were produced. it was in these colonies that The South was born. Meanwhile, The Middle colonies (New York and down) were producing mostly lumber products like sailing equipment, as well as a minor tobbaco and fur trade. Finally, the New England colonies were deep in the fur and sailing industries, which were extremely profitable to them, considering the value of fur and good ship lumber.
