No gold,few slaves

Answer 4

Thank you Ms. Sue! You are amazing!!

Answer 5

Thank you. :-)

Answer 6

Damon and Ms. Sue are right, and so are you, but the middle colonies were major exporters of wheat and other crops. Shipbuilding was also important, but if I was writing this question or teaching about the colonial era, I would note that shipbuilding was VERY important in New England, a little less so in the middle colonies. Which of the two answers in the question will be considered correct is open to question until you post your answer and find out. It's a bad question.
