Question

How did geography help to determine the economies and social customs of the English colonies

Answer 1

A lot of it depended on the area where they lived in. If you lived in the north, you mostly wanted to sell lumber and probably fish because there was so much of it there. If you lived in the south, you had a much better climate and that means they could plant and use plantations. It all depended on the climate they had and if the land was good or not. They also mostly did fish everywhere because they were super close to water.
