The Chesapeake and New England regions were settled by people of English descent, but by 1700, they had become two distinctly different societies. They had evolved so differently, mainly because of the way that the settlers followed their religion, their way of conducting politics and demographics in the colonies. Even though the settlers came from the same homeland: England, each group had its own reasons for coming to the New World and different ideas planned for the colonies.…
The New England and Chesapeake region colonies were the two early established colonies in America. Despite both consisting of predominantly English immigrants, the colonies grew to be two distinct societies. The two colonies developed differently because of the difference in immigrant ages, the laws made regulating economic equality, and the difference in geography.…
From their very genesis, the New England and Chesapeake Colonies displayed stark differences and contrasts. The former was founded mostly for religious reasons and the latter for purely economic ones. Though both regions were in relatively close proximity, comparably, they greatly differed religiously, politically, socially, and morally (in so far as their perception/exploitation of Native Americans was concerned). The exploration of these different colonies will prove to be particularly fruitful due to the fact that we can understand how their early influences shaped the modern day east coast.…
The New England and Chesapeake regions varied in many ways. They varied economically, socially, and religiously. At first there were many small colonies but then they grew into two distinct regions, the New England and Chesapeake areas. The New England region was a more superior place to live in than the Chesapeake region because the people in New England developed swifter and better.…
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?…
Although people from England settled in the Chesapeake and New England area, the regions evolved into two distinct societies due to their differences in religion, politics, and especially, economies by 1700.…
During the 1700s, the regions of New England and the Chesapeake experienced dramatic changes and stimulated development due to the increase in immigration from Europe to this new world of the Americas. The immigrants that came to the New England colony differed in terms of reasons for coming and differences in ways of establishing a foundation for the society verses the Chesapeake colony. The differentiating motives, interactions between the natives, and the formation of the structure of society created the differences in development between these two distinct societies.…
Although the two regions, New England and Chesapeake, had many differences they also shared some similarities like they both were established by people of English origin, and they wanted to expand into the new world. It is definitely safe to say that these regions were more different than similar in all aspects concerning economic, social, and political issues. Throughout 1607-1700 the Chesapeake society was in a more wealth expansion mindset and New England society was more focused on religious…
Towns: The settlements of New England were much more compact than those of Chesapeake, and the houses were meant to last. The towns in New England closely resembled the towns in England from which the immigrants had come, while the towns of the Chesapeake were large, spread-out plantation towns. The Chesapeake had much less development due to the fact that the region had no new development of roads, as water was already the primary transportation source in the region.…
Although the English settled into both the Chesapeake and New England regions, they had formed into two completely opposite communities. Both regions came to America for different purposes. Whether the founders of this land was to make a profit, farm more land, or seek religious freedom, they did it to please their own intentions. There were many differences between the two regions, however two main places where they were opposites, were their lifestyle and their religion.…
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 dawn of the 1600's brought about a new chapter in American history. The United States experienced an influx of almost 400,000 Europeans and 350,000 Africans, most of which were (indentured) servants. Most settlers, seeking the benefits of unclaimed land, migrated into the West Indies, Mid-Atlantic, New England, or South regions/colonies. It would be the differences between these groups that would set them apart from each other for several years to come. Differences not only between environment and geography, but also between motives, politics, religious beliefs and business aspirations would eventually lead to the American Civil War two hundred years later. New Englander's…
In the midst of the 1600s, religious persecution transpired in England between the Catholics and Protestants, provoked by the concept of there only being one “true” religion. Settlers fled England in search of not only a place where they could have religious freedom without conviction, but also a place where they had an opportunity for economic prosperity, land ownership, and wealth. Although colonists may have fled England for similar reasons, the intentions for the establishment and development of the New England and Chesapeake colonies differed greatly. The New England and Chesapeake colonies both developed on top of Christianity and God’s justification, but the colonists in each region shared differing relationships between the colonists…
There are many differences between New England and the Chesapeake. This was because there were a lot of culture differences between the two. Whether it was coming to america to search for gold like the chesapeake or escaping religious injustice like new England. The chesapeake’s hot and humid climate tended to drive people away so they came to New England for dry and mild weather. Farming was a huge part of the Chesapeake’s economy unlike the New England people who had a very diverse economy even though they did farm. Even though they both came from the same area they evolved into two different societies due to their motives for coming to America, the climate of the area, and how and what they farmed.…
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.…
