Economy
There were lots of crops in Maryland that were successful because of the good weather and soil. Their cash crop was tobacco, but they did grow many other crops, such as corn, wheat, rice, and indigo. Some other things they did for work was shipbuilding and iron works. They also had many things they exported and traded. They included tobacco, cotton, corn and other vegetables, grain, fruit, rice, indigo, lumber, furs, and livestock. Their crops were traded for items that could not be produced on plantations. Eventually Annapolis and Baltimore emerged as trade cities.
