mercantilism trearty of paris benjamin franklin cash crops balance of trade british perspective colonial trade balance of trade navigation act ccq's on colonial economy North America's most valuable resources were it's thick forest and the fur bearing animals in them comment: maybe nit was valuable for cold weather they made clothes or blankets with them.

Many colonist practiced palnting and farming to provide food their family

The forest provided colonist with a lot of resources. They used the trees for wood,and they killed animals in the woods for fur. the colonist also fished about 33,000 people were shipbuilders, so fishing and boatmaking was a huge industry.

about the story of Olaudah Equiaro I was wondering why a 11 years old kid nwas put into to slavery because in my opinion I just don't see that around that age they would not be able to do much in other words they don't have any skills

partner's how many of the slaves that were brought from america survived? why did they treat the slaves so badly? if they had to pay and take care of slaves so why did they mistreat them?

About the book that Alaudah wrote I think its does not matter if its a lie because he was a slave and he was just trying to inform people how it was like to be a slave and the things he went through anyways in persepectives I do not think its a lie because someone would not lie about something like that

it shoulnt matter if that story is a lie because it does inform people about the living conditions, he told us about what the slaves had to go through even though this might not be entirely true some of what he described might have actually happened.

By finfing out that Olaudah made money and hot rich my buying and selling slaves now i am kind of confuse because if he wrote the book about how slaves were mistreated then why would he sell slaves when he knew how it was like and what slaves went through how tough times were for them now I think he is just a bad person for doing what he did to get rich I mean if you wanted to be rich work hard and do something that makes sense but not sell other people

Discussion I think the reason why colonist used black slaves without paying them is because back then black people did not have any importance and I think the colonist thought if they payed the slaves maybe they could have found a way out and start a new life with that money so that might be the reason why colonists did not pay the slaves.

I think it was just stupid the fact that New England wanted to control the colonies's tradings. I think they should've just stayed neutral

summary on Olaudah Equiano was born in Essaka in 1745 he was kidnapped with his younger sister at the age of eleven and forced to do domestic slavery. Later on he was sold to white European slave traders. He went to school in Britain to learn to read and write. While Olaudah was in Britain, Pascal changed his name as Gustavus Vassa. Later on he wrote about how slaves were treated cruelly. Later on Olaudah started buying slaves and re-sell them. I my opinion Olaudah should've never sold slaves because he was a slaves and he knew how they used to mistreat slaves. So my question is why would he want to see someone go through all that when he even wrote a book about it I think that made him a selfish person. There are plenty of ways that he could've been rich instead of selling people.



Main ideas : farmers could not grow their crops all year because the weather was unpredicatable, after the navigational act coastal cities wee the center of shipbuilding and they also grew crops for money
