Video Learning Notes
Early European colonies in North America developed economic patterns based on their geography and available resources. Coastal colonies often focused on shipbuilding, using local timber to build ships for fishing and trade. Southern colonies grew cash crops like tobacco and rice, which were sold in Europe to earn money. These industries shaped colonial life and connected the colonies to global trade, influencing their growth and development.
