Answer:
Explanation:
b) New England
New England relied less on slave labor compared to other English regions in the Americas. The economy of New England was more diversified, with a focus on trade, shipbuilding, fishing, and small-scale farming. While there were some enslaved individuals in New England, the use of slave labor was not as central to the region's economy as it was in the Southern colonies, such as Jamestown (in Virginia) and the broader Southern region. The Southern colonies heavily relied on enslaved labor for large-scale plantation agriculture, particularly in the cultivation of crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo.
