Answer:

The middle colonies, were different from the New England and southern colonies. These colonies are also known as, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Deleware, which contained river systems and parts. Their 3 rivers are the Hudson, Deleware, and the Susquehanna. The New England colonies contained Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. They had harsh soil, which led to subsistence farms, fishing (including whaling), and shipbuilding/small-scale factories were introduced. In the Southern colonies (Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia), plantation systems developed. Farms were scattered, as well as slave labor, and export of cash crops.
