Question 5.
detective How did the Daggett family get the goods they needed for their work and home?

A. The Daggetts made many of the things they needed and could have purchased others.


True.

No farm family could make everything for themselves. They traded for or purchased goods they needed or special things they wanted. They could obtain some of these things from local craftspeople, like coopers (who made items like washtubs and barrels) and blacksmiths (who made items like kitchen utensils and door hinges).
