  14. Examples of Interdependence • New England colonies had limited farming resources and depended on the Southern colonies for raw materials such as cotton and the Middle colonies for grain and livestock. • The Mid-Atlantic colonies traded with both the Southern and New England colonies to get products they didn’t produce. • The Southern colonies depended on the New England colonies for manufactured goods, including tools and equipment.
