In what 2 ways did geography/location help New Netherland prosper? *

Fertile land that provided goods and access to the ocean and the Hudson river

Explanation:

The position of the colony New Netherland offered fertile land and woods. This offered food for people who would settle there, as well as plenty of goods. The woods and land later used people a lot in the trade, as tobacco and lumber were some of the main goods produced. What New Netheldan was most grateful for was the fur trade, which they would get from local Natives and woods which held plenty of beavers. People of the colony would turn this fur into hats. The trade was possible because of the geographical location that provided both wide coast and access to the Hudson River. Both seaports on the Atlantic ocean and ports on the river were used for trading, which was the main source of wealth and earning. The prosperity created through trading wouldn’t be possible if there were no water accesses to the colony.
