1 answer
The area of North America that earned the nickname "bread basket colonies" is the Midwestern region, particularly the states known as the Midwest breadbasket states, such as Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. These states are known for their fertile soil and agricultural productivity, particularly in growing crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans, which makes them significant producers of food and grains.
