Just thinking out loud.
Fruits, citrus and others like grapes or peaches. Fish, fresh (live) or salted. Beef or pork (you could have a latent virus or poison in the soil which won't allow some present day common foodstuff to be grown regionally and now has to be imported). Ice (cut in winter, stored in sawdust and brought south in late summer or early fall).
What locations is chicory grown in? Some clay needed for a specific pottery? Iron ore and maybe limestone for a steel industry. Coal in PA so just next door and those slaves would make good coal miners.
Cotton. A specific species of wood for lumber or charcoal. Oil from PA?
Why not slaves?
