The three ways water helped shape the new American colonies in the 18th century are:

  1. It provided drinking water - Essential for survival and health, drinking water was a critical resource for colonies.

  2. It provided lush, fertile soil to grow crops - Water sources contributed to the fertility of soil, making agriculture more productive.

  3. It provided a way to transport goods - Rivers and waterways were crucial for trade and transportation, helping to connect various regions and facilitate economic growth.

The option regarding hydroelectric energy is not applicable since hydroelectric power was not utilized in the 18th century in the colonies.
