Answer:
New England's shipbuilders earned profits by providing ships for the triangular trade
Explanation:
The New England colonies developed as a trade and economic center. The geographic condition did not make the region suitable for growing crops. The colonists focused on shipbuilding, fishing, and whaling while many of the colonists were artisans, blacksmith, merchants, traders, and furniture maker. By seeing the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, colonists began to expand the shipbuilding industry with a shipyard that helped them to earn profits by supplying vessels in the triangular trade.
The British government carried out mercantilism by requiring colonial trade to transpire within the British Empire. They manipulated colonial trade to their advantage in order to profit by selling colonial trade goods to other nations.
