“The English colonies were divided into three regions. The southern colonies, which included the Virginia colonies, had the longest growing season of seven to nine months. The northern colonies had a growing season of only three to five months.”
How did the geography and climate of the Virginia colonies help them make more money than the northern colonies?
The climate was warm and humid. Temperatures were mild in winter and warm or hot in summer. There was enough rainfall to grow large fields of cash crops like tobacco. The climate made long, productive growing seasons possible. The geography of Virginia helped because the colonies were located along rivers. Boats could easily dock and then transport cash crops across the ocean back to England.
