Thought New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled with a majority of English origin. By 1700 the region had evolved into two completely different societies. When talking about New England and the Chesapeake region, you have to consider the differences in motives and geography. Consider economic situations (reasons for settling where they did, reasons why they came to New England in the first place). One has to think about the family development and demographics, as well as the government structure. All these differences helped sculpt the colonies into their own significant and distinct ways of living.…
Now let’s start the Middle Colonies, The Middle Colonies are a blend of the New England, and The Southern Colonies. The Middle Colonies is also "Bread Basket" of the colonies. The Middle colonies include Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire.…
One major difference that separated the three colonial regions was farming. For example New England colonies like Massachusetts Bay struggled with farming. The rocky land and soil made it difficult to farm. Farming was so tough that a group of Puritans were looking to for 40 families rich or poor to venture westward to the Connecticut River to farm. In exchange the families would get each family would get as much land as they wanted, everyone who owned a house would have a cow pasture, share the Hassokey Marsh, share the woodland, share the meadow, and that taxes will be based on the amount of land they have. Instead of having huge plantation, the New England colonies used subsistence farming. Subsistence farming is farming only what your family needs. Occasionally they reaped more crops than they needed. If this happened they would sell the crops to other families who needed them. The New England colonies mainly grew vegetables unlike the plantations. The plantations main crops were indigo, rice, and especially tobacco. In 1615 Virginia only exported 2000 pounds of tobacco to England which escalated to 1.5 million pounds in 1630 (DOC C). The fertile land of Virginia was able to farm tobacco which was able to support their mother country through the tax revenue and profit. Differences in farming affected the economies. While the middle and southern colonies were an agricultural based economy, the northern colonies had more of a trade based economy. If the northern…
-Religion: Presbyterians were well represented, they also had a Congregational Church. When it comes to religious toleration, Massachusetts was the least tolerant but Rhode Island was one of the most liberal.…
In early America there were several colonies but the ones that stood out the most were the New England Colonies and the Virginia colony. There were many differences, for example, New England colonies were full of families while the Virginia colony was mostly dominated by males. They mostly had differences and had few things in common.…
The New England colonies and the Southern colonies are slightly similar in some aspects, but drastically different in most. For example the new england colonies were strictly puritan and they did not tolerate any other religion but the southern colonies were not dominated by a single religion which gave way to more liberal attitudes and some religious freedom. The economy of New England was powered mostly the manufacturing in factories, whereas the Southern colonies’ economies were more agriculturally based. The social structures were different, because the New England colonies didn’t believe in slavery, so the social ladders were not the same. Religious tolerance was another major difference in these two regions. Overall the New England and Southern colonies are slightly similar, but their differences set them apart from each other.`…
Between the years of 1600-1754, three distinct regions were formed in the new world. The three main English settlement areas were categorized into the New England, Middle, and Southern group of colonies and all had major differences and events that led to their own identity. Many people moved to these new colonies to start a new life, try to make a large profit, or even to escape religious restrictions. These three areas provided a new place for people or families to start over and control their own futures, and this played a major role in history.…
1. The New England colonies were characterized by greater social stability than both the southern and middle colonies. They were different mainly because of their geography. Unlike the New England colonies, the southern and middle colonies were far apart and had created their own individualistic societies when they settled, because they were so spread out. The New England colonies were very close together due to their mountainous geography so it was easy for them to maintain contact and have an organized government.…
There were a lot of differences between the 3 colonies. Economic activities were dependant of the environment in which the Colonists lived . The geography and climate and other important factors in the Thirteen Colonies impacted the economic activities of each of the 3 colonies. of the Thirteen Colonies - the Northern Colonies of New England concentrated in manufacture focussing on town life and industries such as ship building and the manufacture and export of rum. The Southern Colonies focused on agriculture and developed the Slave Plantations by bringing tobacco, cotton, indigo, rice, sugar, corn, vegetables, grain, fruit and livestock. The Middle Colonies also brought agricultural products and natural resources but were also able to manufacture iron are products like plows, tools, kettles, nails and large blocks of iron which they exported to England. In the early years of what later became the United States, Christian religious groups played a good role in each of the British colonies, and most tried to enforce strict religious observance through both colony governments and local town…
Each of the three English colonial regions in the late 1600s through the 1700s were all very different, but still had several similarities and one large common goal. Every region had its own geography, climate, economy, and social features that made them stand apart from each other.…
The colonies that Britain and Spain founded were shaped by the Old World ways. To survive the colonies had to master new situations and learn new techniques. The colonies also had raw resources that the Old World lacked. Though different, the colonies had one purpose, to make their countries rich. All the colonies were different but their goals remained the same.…
The three colonial regions are the New England Colonies, Middle colonies, and the southern colonies. The New England Colonies are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The middle colonies were New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The Southern colonies are Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The most famous colonies for slavery were the southern colonies.…
Each colonial region had similar social structures. For example, the majority of the colonies wanted to keep their families together and practice their own religion. They were also all out to make money. However, the New England colonists were used to doing many things themselves and not needing anyone else for help. In contrast, many of the Middles colonists didn't bring their families with them from England and were the perfect workers for the hard work required in ironworks and shipyards. Just as the New England Colonies, the Southern Colonies brought their families and kept them together on the plantations. Their main goal was to make money.…
Differences between the three colonies are distinct. The New England and Middle colonies acquire an identical social structure compared to the South, which has slaves and indentured servants. The New England and Middle colonies dislike discrimination because of their lifestyle, which designates man as equal in God’s eyes. Another dissimilarity is religious toleration. Although the New England colonies have an equal social structure, they do not endure those who possess a different faith other than a Puritan lifestyle. The Middle colonies possess a strong certitude for religious freedom. This is shown in their welcoming of other people of different faiths. The South also possesses some form of religious toleration for others. The economy of the colonies is also different. The New England colonies have a manufacturing type of economy because of the infertile land compared to the Southern colonies, which has a farm-based economy. The environment impacted the economy and agriculture in the New England Colonies; farming was not as important for making a living because of climate and geography. The environment also impacted the economy and agriculture of the Southern Colonies; farming was an important way to make a living because of its climate and geography. The differences between the New England Colonies and the Southern Colonies in agriculture included the climate and geography. The New England Colonies looked to their natural resources as a way to make a living; the environment forced them to look for other ways to make a living other than farming. The Southern Colonies didn't develop all their natural resources as a way to make a living; there was excellent soil for farming income, so there was no need to develop natural resources for manufacturing. The differences in manufacturing occurred between the Southern Colonies and the New England Colonies: The Southern Colonies developed their main natural resource, their farmland, and not much manufacturing; the…
The differences in development between the New England colonies and the Chesapeake or Middle colonies occurred for a many number of reasons. First, they were different people. They come from different places and had different ways of life. Not only did the two regions both have different governing systems, but they were also driven to the New World by different religions or incentives. Even their slight economic differences helped to shape the individuality of the two areas.…
