. What were the main exports of New England in the 1700's?

Answer 1

Oak timber for ships' hulls, tall pines for spars and masts, and pitch for the seams of ships came from the Northeastern forests. Building their own vessels and sailing them to ports all over the world, the shipmasters of Massachusetts Bay laid the foundation for a trade that was to grow steadily in importance. By the end of the colonial period, one-third of all vessels under the British flag were built in New England. Fish, ship's stores and wooden ware swelled the exports.

New England shippers soon discovered, too, that rum and slaves were profitable commodities. One of the most enterprising -- if unsavory -- trading practices of the time was the so-called "triangular trade." Merchants and shippers would purchase slaves off the coast of Africa for New England rum, then sell the slaves in the West Indies where they would buy molasses to bring home for sale to the local rum producers.

Answer 3

I didn't wonder, or really care. And you ask even after automatic security locks? How are you going to start a car with an 'automatic security lock?' :P Sure you can have a button to start the car, but a key is still needed so no one can just get in and start it. Not everyone can afford automatic security lock for theirs houses or stores, what they need to be locked. Keys work and they work great, that's why we have them.
