Question

An important part of studying history is being able to look at maps and draw conclusions from the information shown. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the map used here?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Agriculture was the most important economic activity in the colonies.

Explanation:

On the map, we can see the Thirteen colonies and their primal agricultural products during the colonial America of the 18th century.

The soil of New England wasn't the best for framing, but they managed to grow enough food to support themselves and help the activation of the economic system.

We can see on the attached map how the colonies that were more south were relying more on cotton, tobacco, indigo, rice, etc. - therefore, they were more doing the farming activities.

The northern colonies were more involved in animal husbandry and fishing, which was one of the main resources.
