Turning to other pursuits, the New Englanders harnessed waterpower and established grain mills and sawmills. Good stands of timber encouraged shipbuilding. Excellent harbors promoted trade, and the sea became a source of great wealth. In Massachusetts, the cod industry alone quickly furnished a basis for prosperity.  \nWith the bulk of the early settlers living in villages and towns around the harbors, many New Englanders carried on some kind of trade or business. Common pastureland and woodlots served the needs of townspeople, who worked small farms nearby. Compactness made possible the village school, the village church, and the village or town hall, where citizens met to discuss matters of common interest.  \nThe Massachusetts Bay Colony continued to expand its commerce. From the middle of the 17th  \ncentury onward it grew prosperous, so that Boston became one of America's greatest ports.  \nOak timber for ships' hulls, tall pines for sparsand masts, and pitch for the seams of ships came from the Northeastern forests. Building their own vessels and sailing them to ports all over the world, the shipmasters of Massachusetts Bay laid the foundation for a trade that was to grow steadily in importance. By the end of the colonial period, onethird of all vessels under the British flag were built in New England. Fish, ship's stores, and woodenware swelled the exports. New England merchants and shippers soon discovered that rum and slaves were profitable commodities. One of their most enterprising – if unsavory – trading practices of the time was the \"triangular trade. \" Traders would purchase slaves off the coast of Africa for New England rum, then sell the slaves in the West Indies where they would buy molasses to bring home for sale to the local rum producers.  \nDirections: Base your answers to the following questions on the text and your knowledge of social studies.  \n1. Which of the following was not a productive pursuit in New England?  \na. Farming  \nb. Fishing  \nc. Lumber milling  \nd. Shipbuilding  \n2. Where did citizens of New England meet to discuss matters of common local interest?  \na. Beach  \nb. Common woodlot  \nc. Street  \nd. Town hall  \n3. By the start of the American Revolution, what percentage of all vessels sailing under the British flag were built in New England?  \na. 25%  \nb. 33%  \nc. 66%  \nd. 75%  \n4. What trading practice involved purchasing slaves off the coast of Africa for New England rum, then selling the slaves in the West Indies where the traders would buy molasses to bring home for sale to local rum producers?  \na. Molasses trade  \nb. Rum trade  \nc. Slave trade  \nd.
