dec 29, 1699 - Northern Maritime Economy
Description:
The North's economy was closely tied with England and the West Indies, with all three of those regions trading goods among each other in order to bolster their economies. After American independence, the Northeast was still primarily financed by the merchants and oversea trading with other nations like England and France, but not as dependent as before- rather, especially into the 1800s, the North's economy changes into manufacturing and industrialization (First Industrial Revolution), receiving its raw materials from the South.
