Economy

Selling lumber and making ships made a ton of money. You could just cut down as many trees as you wanted, because there was an endless supply.

Whaling was a big industry in the New England colony. You could sell the blubber and make it into wax, also you could sell the oil from the whale to make lamps.

Religion

Puritan was the religion in the New England Colonies

Puritans were called Separatists.

They did not get along with the Catholic religion at all!

The Puritan Religion was all about purifying the Church of England by fixing all its problems.

New England has tons of fish and whales to catch. All you have to do is catch one and sell it and you get easy money!

The Middle Colonies have iron, coal, and copper. Imagine how dangerous and how much work it is to have to dig that out from a mountain.

The Southern Colonies have rich soil. But, it must be very tiring to have to work out in the sun all day in the fields growing crops.
