Best Answer

New England's economy was always far more diversified than agriculturally-based economies further South due to the difficulty in farming rocky New England soil. In early colonial times, small industries besides farming included things such as black-smithing, ship building, and the manufacture of products such as rum, molasses and textiles from raw materials from the Southern United States, the Caribbean and a few other countries. This wasn't always strictly legal due to British restrictions on profits American colonists made which did not directly benefit the mother country.
