What We Already Know
New England was where some of
the first English colonies were
established, by courageous men and women who willingly faced
great hardships in the name of
religious freedom.
![Page 6: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What We Already Know
During colonial times, New England established itself as the center of
trans–Atlantic trade.
![Page 7: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What We Already Know
Slavery was a major part of colonial life and continued to be important to the national economy in the early 1800s.
![Page 8: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Farming in New England was difficult.
• Harsh climate – short, hot summers and long, bitter winters
• Poor, rocky soil• Most New England farmers practiced
subsistence farming instead of growing cash crops.
![Page 9: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most New England farmers lived near a town.
• Originally, the Puritan church divided farmland among its members.
• Farmhouses surrounded a green and the meetinghouse.
• Shopkeepers and craftsmen relied on the farmers to make their living.

Check for UnderstandingA ask B: Why didn’t farmers in New
England grow cash crops?
Farmers in New England didn’t grow cash crops because the soil was too rocky and
the summers were too short.

Fish and wood were among New England’s most valuable articles
of trade. • Some of the world’s best fishing
grounds lay off the coast of New England.
• Forests provided wood to build ships for fishing.

Whaling was another major New England industry.

A few bustling coastal cities, like Boston and New Haven, grew rich.
![Page 14: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Their wealth was a result of shipbuilding, fishing, and trade.

England grow rich?
A. ShipbuildingB. FishingC. ManufacturingD. Trade
Be sure to choose three!
![Page 19: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Another source of wealth for New England was the triangular trade.
First, ships left New England with a cargo of rum and iron.
![Page 20: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In Africa, the traders exchanged their cargo
for slaves.
![Page 21: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The slaves then suffered
through a cruel trip to
the West Indies.
Slaves were needed there to do the difficult
work of cultivating and
harvesting sugar cane.
![Page 22: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Slaves were crammed into the ships’ holds, where poor ventilation and human waste contributed to stench and disease.
![Page 23: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Females were separated from the males, and often were abused by the crew.
![Page 24: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
As many as half the slaves on any ship died during this cruel ‘Middle
Passage.’
![Page 25: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The slaves were traded
for sugar and
molasses, and the
ships took this cargo
back to New England.
![Page 26: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Colonists there used the molasses to make more rum to trade for
slaves in Africa.
![Page 27: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Check for Understanding
Be sure to re-state the question in your response!
The three essential parts of the triangular trade were rum,
slaves, and sugar and molasses.
B ask A: What trade items were the three essential parts of the triangular trade?
![Page 28: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Slavery was not economical in this region of small farms in an area with
such a short growing season.
![Page 29: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Some New Englanders in larger townsand cities did use slaves as
house servants, cooks,
gardeners, and stable-hands.
![Page 30: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Some enslaved persons were able to save enough to buy their freedom.
In fact, New England was home to more free blacks than any other region.
![Page 31: Copy this on the bottom half of NB p.27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815f3c550346895dce0fbe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A free black man in New England might become a merchant, sailor, printer, carpenter, or farmer. Still, whites did not treat free blacks as
equals.
