Detailed explanation-1: -Natural Resources: The natural resources of New England were fish, whales, trees, and furs. Religion: The established religion of the New England Colonies was Puritan.
Detailed explanation-2: -American ships carried products such as lumber, tobacco, rice, and dried fish to Britain. In turn, the mother country sent textiles, and manufactured goods back to America.
Detailed explanation-3: -The New England colonies, however, were full of forests, giving the colonists the important natural resource of trees. These trees provided wood that colonists were able to use to build homes, buildings, and ships. Lumber became very important to the shipbuilding industry because they built ships for the colonies.
Detailed explanation-4: -The New England colonies had rocky soil, which was not suited to plantation farming, so the New England colonies depended on fishing, lumbering, and subsistence farming. The Middle colonies also featured mixed economies, including farming and merchant shipping.
