In terms of trade, why would settlements in the North American colonies develop by rivers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Typically, Northern American colonies would develop alongside rivers due to boats and rafts which can use it as a way of moving cargo. On example of such is New Orleans, which is at the end of the Mississippi River. New Orleans benefited from trade due to it being a shipping port for carrying cargo up and down the Mississippi River.
