Have you ever wondered what life was like back when we first discovered this new world? Or how the economy worked compared to how it does now? Well in this paper I will explain the differences and similarities among the colonies in north America, what life was really like in the colonies, and what the different features and economies were like in the New England, middle, and southern colonies.
Believe it or not there were in fact some differences and similarities between the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colony was the first colony that was built when the pilgrims first arrived. They built there economy small farm, lumber, fishing, ship building and trade. They also came to the new land to gain religious freedom just like the middle colony. The middle colony was built around their live stock and crops. The southern colony was built around there crops as well. Along with there tobacco and other cash crops.
Life in the colonies wasn’t as easy as it may have seemed. They way they lived back then is totally different from the way we do now, I'm not just talking about the electronics.

This makes it easier for them to grow crops, it was a huge part of their economy. Last but not least, the Southern colony. The southern colonies had a ton of wet land and a large amount of farm land, along with a longer growing season like the middle colony. They were known for there cash crops, such as tobacco and cotton and indigo,
