Best Answer

Agriculture was the intended mainstay for the economy but the maritime industry of shipbuilidng, fishing, smuggling and slaverunning became the growth industries and the early profitmakers. Small merchants with a cash balance investided in new slaveships or on a share basis with an impending run. The profit potential was immense and the risk for criminal prosecution was remote. The ships Captain took that risk and was well rewarded after a run of the Triangle. Most Colonists were simple farmers who hoped to own 40 acres free and clear someday.
