Agriculture was the intended mainstay for the economy but the maritime industry of shipbuilidng, fishing, smuggling and slaverunning became the growth industries and the early profitmakers. Small merchants with a cash balance investided in new slaveships or on a share basis with an impending run. The profit potential was immense and the risk for criminal prosecution was remote. The ships Captain took that risk and was well rewarded after a run of the Triangle. Most Colonists were simple farmers who hoped to own 40 acres free and clear someday.
