Thank you then here's your shmoop du jour brought to

00:05

you by goldie locks who told us that this video

00:08

wasn't too long or too short but just write figure

00:11

the excerpt the description in the extra most directly reflects

00:16

what and hear potential answers mixed her long d is

00:21

looking kind of antsy there so we're going to start

00:23

with him okay We're talking about the west not just

00:26

any old west but the old west Think about those

00:29

classic western movies cowboy sheriff saloons and swinging doors quick

00:33

draw tools and tiny tiny jail cells and more tumbleweed

00:37

than you could poke a stick at not the images

00:39

usually associated with a thriving export economy because actually that

00:43

thriving export economy could be found in the middle colonies

00:47

meaning weaken say so long cowboy option d this is

00:50

where goldilocks makes her official appearance when we start looking

00:52

at the remainder of the answers All right let's check

00:54

out beat the british isles had an amazing sugar high

00:58

for a decent chunk of history producing masses of the

01:00

stuff for export and tooth decay The seasons were indeed

01:03

long and lucrative as sugar was a seriously fancy product

01:07

At the time and had a price tag to match

01:09

there was little production of tobacco because well in goldie

01:12

locks terms the climate of the british isles was just

01:15

too hot and much better suited to sugar production So

01:18

given the sugar content perhaps they might work better for

01:21

dessert For now let's put a lid on him and

01:23

cross be off our list Now if we think about

01:25

the narrative of goldilocks and the three bears we can

01:28

probably guess that the problem was with new england that's

01:31

right The climate was just too cold for tobacco In

01:34

any case let's cross off a which brings us to

01:36

see well any extra John smith talks in particular about

01:40

the growing and selling of tobacco much like with corn

01:43

The cultivation of tobacco was labour intensive The chesapeake colonies

01:47

one of the so called middle colonies were just right

01:50

for the job and soc is the right answer on 00:01:53.699 --> [endTime] Well we've totally put this question to bed
