The middle colonies, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, mainly depended on fur trade and farming to bring money in (The Middle Colonies). Many people came to the middle colonies because of the diverse societies and opportunities (The American Promise). The middle colonies were known as the Breadbasket of North America because of the wide variety of crops (The American Promise, 133). They mainly made their money off of wheat though, as they grew it in abundance to make profit.
The Southern colonies, Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia, made most of their profit off of tobacco and other cash crops, they made good money as they were the wealthiest region! Not only was the southern region the wealthiest, but also the largest (The American Promise, 135). Unfortunately, this is due to the amount of slaves brought in to work for people in the southern colonies (135). Looking at this, it all makes sense. There were lots of slaves in the southern colonies as well as lots of crops. The crop and land owners needed people to take care of the crops, therefore they had the slaves...slave population would continue to grow through the years, with the biggest prevalence in the southern colonies. 

The northern colonies' economies were shaped by farming, fishing, and trading (The American Promise, 127). Though the people of these colonies may not have made an abundance of money off of these things, they were able to get by. Colonists would trade extra crops with neighbors. Because of the location of the colonies, their main export was livestock (127). It was not easy to live in this area, but even under these conditions, they were better off in North America than they were in England (128).

A main failing of the United States Government under the Articles of Confederation was its
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

<h2>failure to regulate trade among the states</h2>

Explanation:

The articles of confederation was the first constitution of  US. It was drafted to hold the union together and make a stronger economy.

The were many weaknesses in the articles of confederation as it granted very few powers to the central government, it could pass laws but it had no authority to enforce them without the support  of states. The continental congress could neither levy taxes nor regulate trade. <em>The authors didn't want to give congress the power to regulate trade and dictate the states what to manufacture or buy,It was due to the bad experiences they had under the British rule when their production and trade was restricted</em>. There was no provision for the federal court system and amending it was very difficult.
