Which of the following was not a popular way to earn a living in the New England colonies?
1. shipbuilding
2. being a merchant
3. farming
4. fishing

Respuesta :

Answer:

Farming

Explanation:

People in New England made money through fishing, whaling, shipbuilding, trading in its port cities and providing naval supplies.People in New England could not make a living from farming because most of the land was not suited to farming due to the hilly terrain and rocky soil.

i believe it is farming because they had coal and hey started to make factories and railroads. which was harmful to the environment and also they were big on trading supplies.
