The correct response is: Nearly everything they needed was made at home. Backcountry colonists lived in remote areas and did not have easy access to markets or trade routes. Therefore, they were forced to rely on their own skills and resources to produce the goods and supplies they needed for daily life. They would often make their own clothes, tools, and furniture, grow their own food, and work the land themselves without the need for slaves or relying on cash crops to sustain their livelihoods.
