The New England colonies made their money by building things out of wood and lumber. Some of these things include ships to trade, houses to live in, and covered wagons travel in [think that last one was right].

The thirteen colonies made their money mainly through the exploitation of their Natural Resources. Farming, trapping, fishing, whaling, and timber industries helped to fuel the economy of the Thirteen Colonies. The New England colonies also drew income from shipbuilding and rum distilleries.

There were small farms, but not many because of New England's rocky soil. Most people fished and cut timber.
