Match each colonial region with the economic and industrial characteristics. 1.whaling, fishing, shipbuilding new england colonies 2.indigo, rice, tobacco middle colonies 3.wheat, lumber, cheese and butter southern colonies

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.
