B) Work for other. Sometimes people do it their selves but most of the time people work for others for quick money
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The geographic feature of Mesopotamia that led to the Sumerians being easily taken over was the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers that made it easy for their enemies to navigate and invade them.
Sumeria was the oldest civilization known to man. Sumerians settled in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Middle East region. There, they developed agriculture techniques and learn how to use the flood of the rivers to grow crops in that fertile soil. That is how they prosper for some time until their enemies could access their city-states navigating through both rivers.
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).
