Describe the extent of the British, French, and Spanish empires north of Mexico in 1700 and how they differed from each other in settlement and economic patterns.

The British Empire settled first in Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Usually they were fishing villages or farming communities along the more fertile land along the rivers. While the rocky soil in the New England colonies were not as fertile as the middle or southern Colonies, the land provided rich resources including timber that was valued for building homes and ships. These colonies were located near the ocean where there was an abundance of whales, fish, and other marketable sea life!

The French first settled in much of eastern North America, on a number of Caribbean Islands, and in South America. During the 1700’s the French settled in Manakin Town, Virginia and Jamestown, Virginia. The French used the great soil that Virginia offered and many farmers like the British.

The Spanish settled in the Caribbean Islands, Florida, Central America, Mexico; much of the rest of North America including the Southwestern, Southern Coast, and California. The Spanish discovered South Carolina also. The Spanish colony economy was based on trade and agriculture. The earlier settlers traded with North Americans. Rice was the most important resource for the Spanish. This crop became the colony’s leading export and generated massive wealth.

So, in many ways these empires were the same, but Spanish grew rice, French farmed by growing corn, cotton, rice, and by raising cattle. The British fished and used their rocky soil to provide timber for building ships.
