Detailed explanation-1: -Merchants who bought livestock and crops from farmers took their goods to port cities. The Port Cities are a major trade center in the Middle Colonies. The colonies’ prosperity, or economic success, depended largely on the ports. Philadelphia is the the busiest port.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Middle Colonies enjoyed a successful and diverse economy. Largely agricultural, farms in this region grew numerous kinds of crops, most notably grains and oats. Logging, shipbuilding, textiles production, and papermaking were also important in the Middle Colonies.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
