Explanation:

There was a great development of an autonomous economy of the colonies, mercantile and manufacturing.

A region formed by the colonies of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Georgia, the Southern Thirteen Colonies was marked by agricultural production in a plantation system: monoculture worked by slave labor on large estates and intended for sale on the European market. There was a distinct settlement logic in this region, in the face of slave labor and agricultural production of tobacco, cotton, rice and indigo (indigo) for Europe.

Thus, the colonies began to have economic autonomy of production of goods, no longer needing to import consumer goods.
