Trading, lumber, and shipping are to the New England Colonies as plantations and slave labor are to

Southern Colonies

Explanation:

The Southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia were agriculture based colonies with most of their revenue coming from cash crops like rice, tobacco, sugarcane, and cotton.

These crops were grown on large plantations that used indentured and enslaved people as labor in order to keep the costs low and profitability high. The Southern Colonies also contributed heavily to the domestic slave trade after the American Revolution when advancements in cotton technology made farming cotton on a large scale very profitable.
