What Impact did geography have on the development of the American colonies?

B is the correct answer. The colonies geography led to them having very different economies, with the South relying on cash crops and the North relying on ship building and industry made goods. The geography caused these economic differences as the different land layouts and climates made cash crop farming impossible in some areas while it thrived in others. Economic differences led to different life styles as while they are both rich, the Southern plantation owner and the Northern factory owner had very different ways of making their money and they had even more different political views. These differences led to long debates over key issues such as federalism and forming of national banks.
