The colonies in New England were very diverse. The people were diverse, the land, even the way the people made money was diverse. While New England wasn't focused on industrialization yet, as it was still early during this time, the way they did their jobs was much different from the Southern colonies.
New England focused on all sorts of jobs and ideas. Fishing, hunting, farming, trading, and selling lumber were just some of the aspects that the New England colonies focused on. They were very diverse in everything they did and made sure there was a variety of jobs to pick from. Exporting certain goods overseas was the main source of New Englands wealth.
The Southern colonies mainly focused on agriculture and they got their wealth from farming. The climate and soil was perfect for farming, unlike the Northern colonies. They had cash crops, which were crops that sold for a lot overseas, like tobacco. They were not as focused on the diversity of jobs and mainly focused on farming and selling cash crops.
