Most settlers in every North American colony …

Years: 1540 - 1683
Most settlers in every North American colony are small farmers, but other industries develop within a few decades as varied as the settlements.

Cash crops include tobacco, rice and wheat.

Extraction industries develop in furs, fishing and lumber.

Manufacturers produce rum and ships, and Americans are producing one-seventh of the world's iron supply by the late colonial period.

Cities eventually dot the coast to support local economies and serve as trade hubs.

English colonists are supplemented by waves of Scots-Irish and other groups.

Freed indentured servants push further west as coastal land grows more expensive.
