Use the map of Colonial Resources on page 29 to answer the following question. If you were a farmer in colonial times and you grew rice and indigo, you most likely lived in

A.
Massachusetts (MA)

B.
New Jersey (NJ)

C.
Pennsylvania (PA)

D.
South Carolina (SC)



Answer :

D. South Carolina

Tobacco (a popular crop in the colonies) could not grow well in SC due to its wet soil and tropical climate. Rice and indigo are both crops that thrive in this wet, hot environment. Farmers in SC would sometimes grow rice for one part of the year, and then indigo for the rest. 

As a farmer in colonial times to grew rice and indigo, I might live in South Carolina.

  • Colonial Resources were the wealth of the colonies.
  • Each of the colonies had its resources which were exported to Britain.
  • The southern colonies were involved in agriculture production.
  • The South had plantations where cash crops were grown.
  • The southern colonies had a damp and warm climate with fertile land.
  • South Carolina grew crops like rice and indigo.

Therefore we can conclude that as a farmer, in colonial times to grow rice and indigo, I will live in South Carolina.

Thus option D. is the correct answer.
