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.`…

Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. The reasons for this distinct development were mostly based on the type on people from England who chose to settle in the two areas, and on the manner in which the areas were settled. <br><br>New England was a refuge for religious separatists leaving England, while people who immigrated to the Chesapeake region had no religious motives. As a result, New England formed a much more religious society then the Chesapeake region. John Winthrop states that their goal was to form "a city upon a hill", which represented a "pure" community, where Christianity would be pursued in the most correct manner. Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans were very religious people. In both cases, the local government was controlled by the same people who controlled the church, and the bible was the basis for all laws and regulations. From the Article of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts it is clear that religion was the basis for general laws. It uses the phrase "being by God's providence engaged together to make a plantation", showing that everything was done in God's name. The Wage and Price Regulations in Connecticut is an example of common laws being justified by the bible. Also in this document the word "community " is emphasized, just as Winthrop emphasizes it saying: "we must be knit together in this work as one man". The immigrants to New England formed very family and religiously oriented communities. Looking at the emigrant lists of people bound for New England it is easy to observe that most people came in large families, and large families support the community atmosphere. There were many children among the emigrants, and those children were taught religion from their early childhood, and therefore grew up loyal to the church, and easily controllable by the same. Any deviants from the regime were silenced or…
Maps not only serve as navigational tools, but also as indicators of social, political, and economic issues taking place. John Smith’s, map of New England serves as a prime example of this. The map provides a layout of New England and its surroundings. Areas with different geographies are made clear and important rivers are shown. Politically, England’s policy of colonization and power is displayed in the map. An example of this is the image of three ships all bearing English flags, sailing towards New England. This represents England’s desire and willingness to conquer new territory. The map also represents the various social issues that New England was confronted with. The map gives insight to how the explorers dealt with…
The Thirteen Colonels of America have been working on this new idea of Democracy, while still under the British rule. The colonists in Maryland created the Assembly of Maryland, "Where in document 1, they created a law to protect ever form of Christianity and allow them to practice it," as well, "it prevents people of one form of Christianity from going out and attacking another person, who is practicing a different form of Christianity," (Citizen Legislators and Toleration). That was one of the first things that this new Democracy in America has achieved in their way to a better world. This law stopped people from attacking other religions and allowed the freedom of practicing any form of Christianity in Colonial America without fear of being beaten for it. But another democratic feature, which happened in Colonial America was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.…
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.…
During the Colonial Era, there were few colonial in each regions of America such as New England, Southern, or Middle Atlantic. These Regions were the most important colonial areas during the Colonial Era, where it provided religions, food, cash crops, tobacco, and they also traded with each other countries which resulted lots of money. For the background of Colonial Era, they started by the conflicts between Catholics, where it was corrupted during this time period, and Protestants, who were reforming a church without a Pope. Because they had conflicts between the Catholics and Protestant, the Protestants moved to this New America to be separated from the Catholics. 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. The southern colonies created the first elected legislature in 1619, the House of Burgesses, only white men who owned property could be elected or vote. The Toleration…
For nearly three hundred years before the American Revolution, the colonial South was a kaleidoscope of different people and cultures. Yet all residents of the region shared two important traits. First, they lived and worked in a natural environment unlike any other in the American colonies. Second, like humans everywhere, their presence on the landscape had profound implications for the natural world. Exploring the ecological transformation of the colonial South offers an opportunity to examine the ways in which three distinct cultures, such as Native American, European, and African influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of North America. The colonies were nearly a complete failure, but they somehow they managed to turn…
In the two literary works, "A Description of New England," by John Smith and “Of Plymouth Plantation," by William Bradford, the two authors represent New England differently. One way they represent New England differently is by the tone of how they tell their personal stories, varies noticeably. Both authors use certain tones to attract and persuade targeted audiences. John Smith wrote of what a wonderful place New England was, while on the other hand Bradford wrote about the difficulties and realities of New England. John Smith, a pilgrim who arrived in the Americas, writes a description of the new land. In "A Description of New England" he shows what a wonderful world of vast food and pleasure await. However, William Bradford, another pilgrim who arrived on the coast of Massachusetts, in Plymouth, gives his take on the early settling of the new land. In "Of Plymouth Plantation" he writes a description of how the pilgrims actually lived and what really happened in Plymouth.…
Colonists’ religion had a significant impact on the development of the colonies because it affected their social values. However, the quality of the soil, and the colonists’ access to water had a greater impact on the development of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. Therefore, the geography was the primary factor in the development of the colonies.…
I have just arrived in Massachusetts which is apart of the New England colony. It is too cold to farm the whole year so I am have to make just enough crop to feed myself and hopefully there is some left to sell. Down here, there is no religious freedom and I am forced into the Puritan religion. The land down here has many hills and rocky soil.…
Over the course of the 15th century, European colonization swept the continent of North America. In spite of the fact the Spanish and the English were located within the same vicinity of the globe, their approaches towards successfully colonizing North America stood apart. The processes of development for the Spanish and New England colonies differentiated significantly because of key elements such as the role of religion, control of the European government, and the treatment of indigenous people.…
