Many people from Europe came to North America during the 1600s and 1700s to explore the land and make money. using information from the chart above and your own knowledge, describe TWO ways people could use some of the natural resources in North America (listed above) to make money.

How would you like us to help you with this assignment?

i think that

1. They could trade the things they dig, find and then sell it.
2. They could make materials from the trees they find, etc., and sell them.

catch cod, sell it in the West Indies and Europe

catch beavers, sell fur in Europe

thx, but what about the land?

What do people do in the dirt?

The English had a serious problem finding tall white pines for masts in Europe, particularly when they were having trouble with countries around the Baltic Sea.

I do not do land, sorry.

Two ways people could use natural resources in North America to make money are agriculture and logging.

1. Agriculture: The rich soil and available land in North America provided excellent opportunities for farming and agriculture. European settlers could cultivate crops like wheat, corn, tobacco, and indigo, which were highly sought after in the European markets. They could establish plantations and farms, cultivate these crops, and export them back to Europe, generating substantial profits. The bountiful natural resources, including fresh water and rich soil, allowed for large-scale agricultural production, providing a way to make money.

2. Logging: North America's vast forests offered abundant timber resources, making the logging industry a profitable venture. European settlers could establish timber mills and logging camps, cutting down trees to produce lumber and other wood products. Timber could be used for construction purposes, furniture manufacturing, shipbuilding, and other industries. The demand for wood in Europe was high, and North America provided an opportunity to exploit this resource and make money by exporting timber products.

By utilizing the natural resources of North America, particularly the fertile soil for agriculture and the abundant forests for logging, European settlers could tap into profitable ventures and generate wealth during the 1600s and 1700s.
