Founding Fathers John Hancock Signed the Declaration of Independence. John Adams was a politician who disliked British tyranny. Thomas Jefferson Wrote the declaration of Independence George Washington led the battle against Britain.

New England The New England Colonies were Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. New England was an independent region and resented British tyranny. There was not much farmland or plantation land so they didn’t need slaves and disliked the whole idea of slavery.

Middle Colonies The middle colonies were New York, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. They grew cash crops such as corn.

Southern Colonies These colonies were Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, And Virginia. Although many of our Patriots came from there, it was mostly loyalists. Lots of Farmland and plantation land so the need for slaves was great and that’s what started the civil war. But I’m getting off topic.

Slavery This practice came too America because the White people thought that the blacks were not equals, more like a possession than a person. The Southern Colonies used this practice more because of their plantations.

Jobs There were many jobs in colonial times. Of course, jobs need tools. The tools included hammer, anvil, forge, tongs, vise, chisel, file, saw, broadax, awl, mallet, plane, drawknife, rakes, hoes, and spades. There were many jobs in colonial times.
