The leaders of the Virginia Company recruited more settlers and reorganized the colony. They allowed the new settlers to own land. Those settlers began to grow tobacco, a crop they learned about from the Indians. By 1612, Virginians were shipping tobacco to England, which led other settlers to come over and try their hand at raising the crop. Because growing tobacco required large plots of land, the small tobacco farms grew into large farms, or plantations. Tobacco soon became the backbone of the Virginia economy and the first cash crop grown in America.Based on the information in the passage, which statement contains a prediction of what might happen as a result of growing tobacco?(1 point)ResponsesThe land will become infertile.The land will become infertile.The settlers will leave Virginia.The settlers will leave Virginia.The large plantations will need more workers.

Describe the primary economic activity for each of the three colonial regions: the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. Explain how the geography of each region helped determine its economy
The primary economic activity in the New England Colonies was trade, fishing, and shipbuilding. The geography of the region, characterized by rocky soil, cold climate, and abundant coastline, influenced this economy. The rocky soil made large-scale agriculture difficult, leading settlers to focus on subsistence farming and small-scale farming. The region's extensive coastline provided access to the Atlantic Ocean, facilitating fishing and trade. Additionally, the dense forests in the New England Colonies provided ample timber for shipbuilding, which became a significant industry.
In the Middle Colonies, the primary economic activity was agriculture, with a focus on grain farming, particularly wheat. The geography of the region, which featured fertile soil and a moderate climate, played a crucial role in shaping the agricultural economy. The rich soil was suitable for growing various crops, including wheat, corn, and oats. The favorable climate allowed for longer growing seasons and higher crop yields. The Middle Colonies also had access to major waterways like the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, enabling trade and transportation of agricultural products.
The primary economic activity in the Southern Colonies was agriculture, with a strong emphasis on cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. The geography of the region, characterized by a warmer climate, fertile soil, and vast expanses of land, heavily influenced the economy. The warm climate and long growing seasons made it ideal for cultivating labor-intensive crops like tobacco and rice. The fertile soil, particularly in areas like the Chesapeake Bay region and the lowland areas of South Carolina, allowed for high agricultural productivity. The large plantations and vast lands in the Southern Colonies facilitated the growth and cultivation of cash crops on a large scale, leading to the development of a plantation-based economy reliant on slave labor.
