For about 300 years, most of the natural resources gathered in the Americas were sent to Europe.

Slide 17

Students Will Be Able To... Understand how Great Britains demand for raw materials leads to the rise of port cities. Understand how the rise of port cities leads to the demand for skilled laborers. Understand how port cities become a doorway for diversity.

Slide 18

Review of Southern Colonies England saw the long growing season and rich, fertile land of the Southern Colonies and knew it would be a great spot to grow wheat and corn. In order to meet Great Britains demand for raw materials, plantations grew. A great amount of labor was needed to work on the plantations. At first Mexicans were used until later, when indentured servants were used because they did not have to be paid. Consequently, everyone in the South owned a plantation and slaves.
