Economic Resources of PEI
PEI primarily successed in their wood, wind, and water economy. As well as crops from farming and fish from fishing. There was also a strong, ocean-born trade between PEI and the united states. Most of the PEI population was rural and engaged in farming, fishing, and lumbering.
Contribution to Union
PEI had good agricultural resources. Only one third of the land in PEI was owned by farmers. In the 1800s most of the agricultural resources went to Britain, the US, West Indies, and Latin America. During the buildings of the railways, products produced from PEI were in high demand. Britain and the US signed a treaty in the 1850s to allow free trade. PEIs most important trade partners were Great Britain and the US because they purchased most of PEIs products.
