How and why were the northern colonies different from the southern colonies in the seventeenth century?
The Northern colonies, were manufactures, they built ships, and things like that to make profit. The Southern Colonies were the agricultural colonies while the Northern colonies traded and sold manufactured goods, the Southern colonies economy was based of farming. However some of the Northern colonies did fish as well as the Southern Colonies. The Southern Colonies also had more slave labor than the Northern Colonies did. Hope I Helped.
