subsistence farming. They basically did everything for
themselves like making own clothes and farming their own food.

The New England Colonies were a
little different from the other
colonies because their main goal
was spiritual growth. They were
founded on the puritans and
pilgrims searching to practice
their own religion. They disagreed
with the teachings of the church in
England. A small group of people
came to New England to make
money.

8. Middle Colonies
The people who came to the Middle colonies were looking to
practice their own religion as well. But they were also concerned
with making money. Many of them didn’t bring their families
from England so they were the ideal workers for hard labor.

agriculture and part industrial.
Wheat grew on Farms in New
York and Pennsylvania along
with other grains.

Along with being part agriculture the Middle Colonies were part
industrial. They were many factories in Maryland and
Pennsylvania. Trade with England and other colonies was
flourishing. Factories produced iron, textiles and paper.

Colonies, there was three large rivers that ran through these
colonies. The Susquehanna, the Delaware and the Hudson
assisted the fur trading industry.

Colonies

them brought their families to work together on plantations. So
therefor; there was many thriving plantations that made a
sufficient amount of money.

plantations. This made for acres of farmland. They were mainly
agricultural colonies.

17. Triangular Trade
The Triangular Trade routes got its name from the triangular
shape it made to retrieve fish, lumbar, and other goods from
New England to the West Indies. The West Indies rum, guns,
gunpowder to West Africa. Here, they traded for salves. The
effects of the trade routes were detrimental. Africans had no
protection because all the males were taken. Violence became
common because of the introduction of guns. Sadly, racism was
very common now.

18. The Great Awakening
The Great Awaking was a time of spiritual growth which brought
an identity to the colonies. The biggest effect of the Great
Awakening was the rebellion against authority.

19. Enlightenment

governments and establish a real democracy.
