The document summarizes the key attributes and effects of trade and religious/intellectual movements on the three regions of the original 13 colonies - New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colonies exported fish, lumber, grains and ships and had many ports for international trade. The Middle colonies focused on agriculture and industry like grain farming and textile/iron production. The Southern colonies specialized in cash crops like tobacco, rice and sugar grown on large plantations worked by many slaves. The triangular trade helped the economies of all three regions through imports and exports. The Great Awakening and Enlightenment led to more religious freedom and new ideas that influenced governance and improved farming/business.
