Lord Baltimore and his crew

found Maryland in 1634 and

Economy

(jobs, main products sold/traded, services)

The Maryland colony grew crops on plantations.

Plantations were massive and consisted of the
main house, slave quarters, a dairy, blacksmith's
shop, laundry, smokehouse, and barns. This
made the plantations to a large degree,
self-sufficient.
They grew tobacco, cotton, corn, vegetables,
grain, fruit, and livestock.

Economy Continued...
The colony concentrated on
agriculture and developed
the plantations. They did
this by exporting tobacco,
cotton, corn, vegetables,
grain, fruit and livestock.
Crops were traded for items
that could not be produced
on the plantations including
shoes, lace, thread, farm
tools, and dishes.

Slavery in your Colony?

The Southern Colonies had the largest slave
population who worked on plantations.
Few people were allowed into the white people's
houses because they were a different color.

Prince George, he demanded them to do
whatever he wanted.

The positives of Maryland was that they mostly had

good weather, the slaves at least got a little bit to

that the slaves didnt get any respect, and
sometimes the weather was really harsh and the
slaves still had to work on the farm, they had to
work every day except for sundays. These are
