What three industries helped the early settlers?

1. Agriculture. The early settlers were primarily farmers, and they grew a variety of crops, including corn, wheat, and vegetables. They also raised livestock, such as cows, pigs, and chickens.

2. Fishing. The early settlers also relied on fishing for food. They caught fish from the ocean, lakes, and rivers using nets, traps, and hooks.

3. Fur trading. The fur trade was another important industry for the early settlers. They traded furs with Native Americans for goods such as food, clothing, and weapons.
