The money they made from these jobs is positively affected as a result of the location of the New England colonies. The geography of the New England colonies partially affect the settlement due to the fact the colonies have thin, rocky soil, cold, dry winters, and cool, humid summers.
The Middle colonies (New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware), all had fertile land and water from the Hudson River as well as the Delaware River. The Middle colonies were known for growing vegetables, fruits, and grains. Their main cash crops were maize (corn) and wheat. Several mills were built for the settlers in the Middle colonies so that they could grind the grain on the floor. As a result of the geographic location of the Middle colonies, they had two major rivers, the Hudson River and the Delaware River which enabled them to import and export goods overseas. The people in the Middle colonies came from all over the world, thus resulting in a diversified colony. The geographic conditions of the four middle colonies appealed to different people, so everyone lived separately. This caused tension between everyone because no one ever learned to trust each other. The way of farming in the middle colonies called for farmhouses. The livestock was kept in the farmhouses and then shipped to Philadelphia and then on to the W. Indies. The geographic conditions in the Middle colonies positively affected the settlers because they had two major rivers, which provided everyone with the necessities of everyday life. .
The Southern colonies (Georgia, Virginia, the Carolinas, and Maryland) were settled by English as well. The English who founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent settlement, came with the intent of finding gold and getting rich by trading with the Indians. As a result of the settler's eagerness for money, they failed to think about the location on which they chose to settle, the swamp.
