Jeff Goldblum• Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum (born October 22, 1952) is an Academy Award-nominated American actor.

He often portrays quirky, intense or eccentric characters. He is also known for his distinctive appearance and his staccato delivery of lines.

• Early in his career, he had a short cameo in Annie Hall (1977) where he attends a Hollywood party and is shown on the phone admitting, "I forgot my mantra." Goldblum has had leading roles in films such as The Fly and The Tall Guy. Goldblum's strong supporting roles include those in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Big Chill (1983), Into the Night (1985), Jurassic Park (1993), and The Lost World (1997). He also had strong supporting roles in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and the 1984 cult films The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension and Igby Goes Down (2002). Goldblum delivers the same line, "must go faster", in very similar situations in both Jurassic Park and Independence Day. In Jurassic Park, he says it when he is sitting in the back of a Jeep with a broken leg while being chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex. He says it in Independence Day when he and Will Smith are in the spaceship trying to escape the mother ship.

Agriculture in the Southern Colonies

• The economies of the southern colonies depended on agriculture. They also exported materials for building ships, such as wood and tar.

• Some colonies traded with local American Indians for deerskins to sell.



Cash Crops

• The colonies had many small farms and some large plantations.

• Farms did well because the South enjoyed a warm climate and a long growing season.

• Many farmers grew cash crops that were sold for profit. Tobacco, rice, and indigo (blue dye) were the most important cash crops.



Specialized Crops

• Virginia specialized in tobacco, and South Carolina specialized in rice and indigo.

• Crops such as rice and indigo required many workers to grow and harvest.

• By the 1700s the indentured servants who had 1st done the labor were now replaced by enslaved Africans.

• Unlike indentured servants, slaves and their children had to work for life.





Slave Codes• Most of the southern colonies

passed slave codes, or laws to control slaves.

• Colonies with large numbers of slaves had the most extensive slave codes.

• South Carolina’s slaveholders feared that slaves would revolt.

• As a result, South Carolina’s code said slaves could not hold meetings or own weapons.

• Some colonies did not allow slave holder to free their slaves.



More Codes

• The Virginia Assembly claimed that runaway slaves committed “injuries to the inhabitants of this dominion.”

• Assembly members passed a law allowing people to kill a runaway slave who resisted capture.



Industry and Trade in New England

• Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island were very different from the southern colonies.

• The often harsh climate and rocky soil meant that few New England farms crew cash crops.

• They had little demand for farm laborers, although some held slaves, slavery did not become as important to this region.



Trade

• Trade was vital to New England’s economy. New England entrepreneurs, people who undertake new businesses to make profit, traded goods locally, with other colonies, and overseas.

• Many entrepreneurs traded local products such as furs, pickled beef, and pork.



Fishing and Shipbuilding

• Fishing and shipbuilding became two of the region’s leading industries.

• The shipbuilding industry prospered in New England for several reasons.

• The region had plenty of forests and the local fishing industry needed ships.

• As seaports grew, more ships were built.



Shipyards

• Shipyards throughout NE towns made high-quality,valuable vessels.

• Ship owners sometimes even told their captains to sell the ship along with the cargo when the reached their destination.



Apprentice

• The diverse economy of NE needed skilled craftspeople.

• Families often sent younger sons off to learn skilled trades such as blacksmithing, weaving, shipbuilding, and printing.

• The young boys who learned skilled trades were known as apprentices.

• They lived with a master craftsman and learned from him.
