The colonists saw America as the land of opportunity, many of them had probably been told stories about how a man came with no money, and built an empire with farming. Once they reached America it was a different story. They did have a lean slate to begin with, the land was fertile, and animals were plentiful. The first, and second waves of immigrants changed this though, they over hunted, and over farmed the land. They brought new animals

The areas were also split up by different groups, and religions, so if you weren’t a Puritan you couldn’t live in that area, or if you weren’t Dutch you couldn’t live there. So a settler had to first find an area to live in where he would be tolerated by the other colonists around him. Then he had to find some way to make money, and then some one to sell it to. The Trade Acts didn’t help new settlers, because they couldn’t sell there goods to other colonies without paying a tax on it.

In America many people starved, many people died from disease, many people died without having made any large amount of money, however many people also set up thriving farms, and businesses that helped our country become what it is today.

Before the Trade Acts, the colonists could trade with anyone they wanted to which helped the economy greatly cash crops such as tobacco
