Comparing the untouched united states during the time before it was settled by Europeans to modern america
The colonial economy of what would become the United States was pre-industrial, primarily characterized by subsistence farming.therefore that’s why they were important
I would say the answer is three (not 100% sure tho). It's definitely not 2 or 1
Food (including seafood and game), crops, wild foods, and spices.
raw materials (including lumber, skins, fuel wood, organic matter, fodder, and fertilizer)
genetic resources (including crop improvement genes, and health care)
water purity.
biogenic minerals.
IT is the first one good luck.
