Examples of Economic Interdependence
The Mid-Atlantic region traded with the New England and Southern colonies to get products that they did not produce as easily.
They bought tobacco, rice, cotton, indigo and forest products from the Southern colonies.
They also obtained metal tools and equipment from the New England colonies.

Natural, Human, Capital Resources
The Middle colonies had many natural resources such as rich farmlands and wide rivers.
The human resources were unskilled and skilled workers, along with fishermen.
Working together, the natural resources and human resources were able to produce capital resources of tools and buildings.

Education
Middle Colonies schools were also largely religious but taught the teachings of one religion. If you were a Catholic, you learned about the Catholic religion at a Catholic school. Most schools were private, not public like New England. Students also learned other subjects so they could get into college. Again, girls weren't allowed to attend, unless they were Quakers.
