Do we have to read a book or watch a video to answer this?
After the ottomans blocked the Europeans trade routes to the Indian subcontinent and the rest of Asia Europe had to find an ocean route around Africa which put them in contact with many indigenous populations which the Europeans would colonize and enslave in order to exploit the routes they had to take to get to Asia <span />
Considering the available options, the economic activities that would be found or that most likely would succeed in Virginia are the following:
Large-Scale Agriculture (plantation) requiring a lot of laborers and flat to gently rolling land:
- This is evident in the fact that tobacco plantation was largely grown in the Virginia colony.
Fishing and whaling due to proximity to the ocean:
- This is evident in the fact that various rivers and water are available in the Virginia colony.
Timbering, Pine Tar, Pitch, Sassafras (for medicine), and Potash;
- This is evident in the fact that there are various forests in the Virginia colony.
Maple syrup and livestock products such as wool:
- Various forests have Maple trees in Virginia and acceptable weather for raising livestock.
Industries requiring long, hot summers, shorter, cold winters:
- This is evident in the fact that the colony of Virginia is characterized by hot summers, shorter, cold winters.
Waterways with steep drop-offs and rapids to utilize waterpower:
- This is evident in the fact that there are various water bodies like rivers around the Virginia colony.
Glass and barrel making:
- this is evident in the fact that the colony of Virginia originally began glass and barrel making before switching to tobacco farming later.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that it is only the last option, "Industries that can be done with short summers, longer, colder winters," that would not succeed in the Virginia colony because the colony's climate did not support such venture.
