America in the 1700s was a big melting pot however the Chesapeake and New England regions were made up mainly of people of English origin. Even though the settlers came from the same place their societies evolved in two different directions.

It seems important to understand the similarities of the colonial regions in order to comprehend the implications they had. By comparing the Middle Colonies and New England, and by contrasting the future North to the South, it becomes relatively easy to draw patterns.…
1. Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development occur? (1993)…
Since the discovery of the New World by European powers, the newly established European settlements on American soil varied from region to region. Two such regions were The Chesapeake and The New England regions. Although both were settled vastly by the English people the societies they formed were different. These differences were due to a few factors. The factors include motivation for migration, geography, social, political and economical structures of the settlements. These factors are what contributed to the variations seen in the societies formed by settlers of distinct regions.…
In the 1600s, colonists from England decided to leave their homeland to travel to America or “the New World.” The two regions the colonists mostly settled in were the New England area and the Chesapeake area. Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin, by 1700 the regions evolved into two distinct societies. This difference occurred because the New England colonies was based off of escaping religious persecution while the Chesapeake colonies was based off of profiting of natural resources.…
The political, social and economic development plays a large part in the reason why the New England and Chesapeake regions developed so different. If you were to pay close attention to these regions, you’d be in awe to know that the people who settled these areas are all from England. The reasons for the development also played a large role in the difference. From the 17th century to the 18th century the Chesapeake and New England regions developed into two different regions.…

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 they shared similarities, the Northern and Southern colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries also had many differences. The diversity of the United States goes back to its beginning as a collection of northern and southern colonies. Their differences in religion, politics, economics, and social issues, and the way they dealt with them, are what shaped our country into what we are today.…
There were many similarities and differences in the many different colonies in North America. They all had farming and ranching, with fertile land. They all had basically the same climates in each of these colonies, they had freezing winters and very warm and humid colonies. All of these colonies were by the coast with sandy shores. They all had different founders, in the New England colonies their founder was Thomas Hooker, in the middle colonies their founder was William Penn, and in the southern colonies their founder was George II and James Edward Oglethorpe. They all had different geography, in the New England colonies they had forested hills with sea coasts, in the middle colonies their colonies they had rolling hills with lots of trees,…
The North and The South After 4 grueling years, The Civil War finally came to an end on May 9th, 1865. Most believed the Civil War was started was because of the “Free states” (The North) and the “Slave states” (The South) couldn’t come to a compromise over the power of national government to stop slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860 and vowed to keep slavery out of territories. The Civil war is an incredibly crucial part of history, and the North and South have a lot to do with it.…
Both New England and the Chesapeake region were largely populated by the English people, by the 1700’s the region evolved into two distinct societies because of their systems and beliefs. Each region had a rich and a poor. Chesapeake was concerned more about gold, while New England was more concerned about land and settlement. This difference in development occurred because of land differences and wants by each society.…
Marquart characterizes the upper midwest as more of a lonely place especially “While your driving west from Fargo on I-94” It is not very difficult to drive in the midwest, simply because there are no “rises or curves on the road.” The midwest is also considered a square state, meaning it is more conservative and rural. Something many people are not aware of. It is also more republican than non-square states.…

(The Great Migration) “ Northern cities grew by large percentages, including New York (66 percent) Chicago (148 percent), Philadelphia (500 percent) and Detroit (611 percent).” (Great Migration) Migrants found new jobs, some that were dangerous. Female migrants had a harder time finding jobs which ended up creating competition between the sexes. Also, due to the North having more of a white population, finding homes for African Americans to live in was challenging. (Tolnay, Stewart…
