The New England colonies to the north and the southern colonies were vastly different in their economies. The New England colonies' colder climate and low soil fertility made farming in these colonies a struggle. They did however have the advantage in that the coasts of New England were some of the most fertile fishing locations in existence. This led the New England colonies to whaling…
In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…
New England had a stronger economy than the Southern colonies even though it was mostly based off of lumber, fishing, and manufacturing. But since they had big port cities, like Boston and New York, they traded a lot with other places and made a lot more money that way compared to the Southern colonies…

The New England, Middle and Southern colonies were the part of the New World which used to belong to the British. Although the colonies all had good things, all of the regions had things that didn´t help them grow as a region. Some colonies had rocky soil for example. Having a good climate and a good topography is part of agriculture, having materials to work is part of manufacturing.…
The New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by English colonists. Most colonists moving from Great Britain to New England were families searching for religious salvation, rather than mostly the single men that traveled to the Chesapeake area in search of wealth. The immigrants of the Chesapeake area were greeted with a climate and soil that were perfect for cultivating tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. Those settling in New England could not rely on farming to support themselves because of the rocky soil in the north. While the majority of the Chesapeake colonists were not as cohesive due to the great distance from farms to these towns, New England had close-knit church events, meetings, and schools. Although, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by people at English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies because of motives, environment, and towns/communities.…

And Protestants landed at three regions, which were New England, Southern colonies, and Middle Atlantic.…
The New England colonies were founded by the puritans who came to escape religious persecution. The puritans didn’t have any separation between the church and state, they mainly had a theocracy with the pastor as the head of the colony. They also based all of their rules off of the bible, the people who were considered “criminals” were people who had completed sins. Laws were not imposed by the monarch but by common law. In the middle colonies, the Quaker women had more rights politically. There were governors in New York and the colonist could elect representatives to an assembly.
