Though the colonies of America produced many trade commodities, the primary commodities varied by region. The deep South (Georgia and the Carolinas) produced cotton, which remained a valuable export for several hundred years. The Middle Colonies (Virginia and Maryland) produced another cash crop, tobacco. In the North (New England and New York), because the growing season and soil was not viable for large-scale agriculture, relied mainly on manufactured goods. But as Britain was the colonies most valuable trade partner, and Britain was much more industrialized than her colonies, did not receive many commodities from the North, apart from whale oil and furs.
