Why did shipbuilding develop in the New England colonies?

History

Agata [3.3K]2 years ago

<em>C. There were many harbors and abundant timber.</em>

Explanation:

Shipbuilding developed in the New England colonies because there were many harbors and abundant timber.

Since the climate in New England was cold and the soil wasn't very fertile, it was hard to grow crops or focus on agriculture for a living. Thankfully, the New England colonies had other ways of making money.

New England had a lot of areas full of woods, meaning there was an abundance of timber. This meant that it was easy to build things like ships, homes, and furniture. There were also many harbors, as New England was a hot spot for merchants and slave trading. Ships were created not only for these two reasons but also for fishing.

What do you think about the guardianship policy that was in Saudi Arabia? Please write 4 sentences or more explaining the policy
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

In my opinion, I think that it is unfair to the women in Saudi Arabia because they have to depend on a man to make decisions. Not just that, this policy happens for the woman's whole life. I think that women should have an open mindset and make decisions just like men. They should be seen as equal and not distinct just because of different body parts. This stereotype in my opinion is very wrong because we are all equal and same no matter what gender.

sesenic [268]
When the movies were $2.95 a month, she rented 10, meaning she spent $29.50 (2.95 * 10)
She then rented two fewer movies, meaning she rented 10-2 which equals 8, and spent $27.60 (3.45 * 8)
She then cut the number of movies rented in half 8/2 which equals 4, and spent $17.80 (4.45 * 4)
So she now rents 4 movies per month, and spends $17.80
