Answer:

The answers to the question, and the explanation, are as follows:

1. Whaling, fishing and shipbuilding: New England Colonies. This is due to the characteristics of the region. Being so close to the ocean, and at such a high altitude, the lands of New England were, and now are, better known for these activities, and they developed a lot of the manufacturing in old times.

2. Indigo, rice and tobacco: Southern Colonies. These were mostly the plantation products, along with cotton, that the South was known for. They produced these in great quantities and for them they needed slave labor.

3. Wheat, lumber, cheese and butter: Middle colonies. Again, this is because of the land characteristics. These regions were better known for their pastures and quality for raising livestock. Farms were known for their dairy products.

The New England Colonies were known to depend on industry and fishing.

The Middle colonies were agriculture-based, though also relied heavily on industrial products.

The Southern Colonies' economy was almost purely agriculture-based.

The New England Colonies were the northern-most colonies. This region endured long brutal winters and short summers. The land was comprised mostly of coastlines and mountains, making for rocky soil, unfit for farming. For these reasons, the economy of the region would depend heavily on fishing and whaling, as well as shipbuilding.

The Southern Colonies were an agricultural region. Summers were long, and the climate was warm making for optimal farming conditions. Large plantations of:

  • Sugar
  • Indigo
  • Tobacco
  • Cotton
  • Rice

which would be worked by slaves, lead this region to economic prosperity, and contributed to it becoming a center of the American slave trade.

The economy of the Middle Colonies was more diverse. They relied heavily on agriculture and produced mostly grains, along with products like wheat, butter, and cheese. However, the industrial products from lumber, shipbuilding, and even textile production contributed much towards the economy of the region.
