A = The New England Region
B = The Middle Atlantic Region
C = The South Region
A
New England consists of six states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. All are located in the northeastern comer of the country.
This section is among the oldest and played an important role in American history.
New England is featured with mountains, valleys and rivers. Although there is large area of farmland, New England is not a farming area which is due to the poor soil there. Most New Englanders, therefore, are working in factories today. They are good at making watches and clocks, shoes and clothing, leather goods and special tools for industry. New England has also been famous as a fishing center ever since its early part of history because of its advantageous location and some of the best fishing waters. Many people are today involved in fishing and fish processing.
Of the six states which form New England, Massachusetts has the largest population and is generally considered the most important one because in history no other state in the entire United States played so important a part. Boston, the capital, is a leading port and a financial and cultural center. Rhode Island is the smallest state in size but the most densely populated state of the U.S.A.
B
This region also contains six states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. To the north of this region lies the New England region and to the south lies another region—the South region.
The six states are very important in many ways. One fourth of the whole population lives in this section. One-third of all the products made in America are from these six states. Three-fourths of the country’s foreign trade pass through New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, all of which lie within this region.
The region is marked by its industry, and it is often called the "Industrial Northeast". Many large factories are located in this section. The main transportation of every kind is concentrated and highly developed here. Almost every industrial product of any importance is produced, in whole or in part, somewhere within this area.
This region is also rich in minerals, particularly coal and iron. Owing to the good soil and temperate climate here, agriculture is also important. There are many large farms and ranches. In order to meet the needs of the cities, the agricultural products such as vegetables, dairy products, poultry and various kinds of fruits are grown and processed in large quantities.
Many important cities are located in this section such as New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The states of this region are also among the oldest in the U.S.A.
C
The South is a large section of the United States, consisting of eleven states: Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Arkansas.
The South has, in general, a warm climate. People often call it the "Sunny South".
In the past, this region grew no other important crops than cotton and tobacco. But in recent years, the southern farmers have turned to raising other things such as sugar, peanuts, corn and a wide variety of garden vegetables. Florida is very rich in citrus fruits. Over half of the people of the South live on farms or in small towns, making their living from the land. In recent years, however, a great deal of industries have moved into the South from the North due to the lower wages paid to the black workers here. Much of the cotton grown in the South can now be directly sent to the textile plants in southern cities. Other industries such as oil refinery, aircraft and spacecraft have been established in many places in the South.
The South, in spite of its great size, has few large cities. The notable ones are New Orleans, Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham.
