• California: Point D (located on the West Coast in California).
• Washington, D.C.: Point A (located on the mid-Atlantic coast).

Analyze New England shipbuilding factors

• The New England colonies had a cold climate and rocky soil, which made large-scale farming difficult.
• However, the region featured dense forests providing abundant timber and a jagged coastline with many natural deep-water harbors, which directly favored the development of a major shipbuilding industry.
