How were the southern colonies econimically different from the middle and new england colonies?
a. they mined more valuable metals than the other colonies.
b. they built more wooden ships than the other colonies.
c. they grew more cash crops than the other colonies.
d. they had fewer african slaves than the other colonies

(C):Not well known is that slavery was prevalent in all of the colonies though the colonies we think of when the subject comes up are the Southern Colonies. In fact most of the slave ships were owned by merchants in New England and were a big part of the Triangle Trade at this time between New England, South Africa and the West Indies.

The Religion of the Colonies before the Great awakening was somewhat varied but mainly only in the Middle Colonies. The main religion in New England were the Puritans, in the Southern Colonies it was the Anglican and in the Middle Colonies it was the Anglican, Protestant, and the Quakers.

The Economy in New England centered around trade because farming was difficult with rocky soil. The main staples were Fishing, Timber, Rum, some slave trade, and shipbuilding over seen by wealthy merchants. In the Southern Colonies it was the staple crops of Rice, Tobacco, and Indigo (before the revolution) and Cotton (after). These crops were grown on large plantations owned by wealthy white males and worked by African slaves. In the middle colonies the economy was supported by both trade and farming with and emphasis on Wheat.

Finally the society of New England was based off of the Puritan religion but over all had a balanced class system mainly made up of a wealthy merchant class. The Middle Colonies again had a fairly balanced class system though instead of merchants it centered around farming communities. The Southern Colonies were ruled by Patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically ruled by the father of a household; woman, children, and his slaves all had to submit to him as the owner of them.

Keep in mind this is all before the revolution and I haven't even tried to discuss the Great Awakening of the time.
