Life in Connecticut was harsh for most colonists but they managed to survive. The summers in Connecticut were mild but the winters were much colder than the English. They usually farmed like they grew corn, beans, squash, and apples. They also raised cattle for beef and milk. Shipbuilding, fishing, and whaling were also ways they make a living along the coast of Connecticut. They also hunted game, and wove the fabrics they needed.

Jobs would include lawyers, farmers, fisherman, slave traders, slaves, and blacksmiths. About 10% of the population were slaves. They would trade fur, cattle, lumber, tobacco, fish, and wheat. Slaves would build, fish, and farm. The summers were warm and winters were freezing ( average 27 degrees F.).
