By the mid-eighteenth century, the different regions of the British colonies had developed distinct economic and social orders. Identify the economic and social orders of each of the regions?

The different regions were New England, the Middle Colonies, and The Southern Colonies. New England was comprised of small family farms, the Middle Colonies produced largely grain, and the the Southern Colonies was a plantation-based economy with crops like cotton and tobacco.

Explanation:

In the mid-eighteenth century, New England was characterized by small family farms and the Puritans were beginning mercantile development. These farms largely produced food for local consumption. In the Middle Colonies (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware) they produced largely grains like wheat and corn. The middle colonies were fertile while New England was very rocky, and land was acquired more easily in the Middle Colonies than in New England or in the plantation South. The Southern Colonies (Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Maryland) were dependent on slave labor and large plantations that produced cash crops like cotton and tobacco.
