Colonial America Unit 5 LP3

I live in colonial Virginia. In the winter and spring, I'm busy spinning and sewing. In the late summer and fall, I prepare fruits, vegetables, and meat for the winter. During the growing season, I take care of a garden of herbs. Each day, I cook and take care of the children and farm animals.

Person I:
My family has lived in the Southern Colonies for a few generations. My father gave me his land before he died, and I plan to give it to my son when the time is right. In order to make sure that I am able to make a lot of money, I depend on slaves to work my land.

Person II:
I arrived in the New England Colonies not long ago, but the people here love the goods I make. I thought I would have to travel around to sell my goods, but people come to my shop every morning to see if I have something new for sale. I have quickly made enough money to bring my family to America from the country I came from.
