Northeast Region
The United States of America is the third largest country by land mass and as such has various climates from region to region that makes it impossible to generalize. The exact opposite is the case for the United Kingdom, the whole country has the same climate: a humid temperate climate with no dry season. The US on the other hand, has a wide range of climates. The Northeast has a hot-summer humid continental climate, the Southeast’s climate is a humid subtropical. The Midwest, Southwest, Rockies region and the Pacific portion of America is a combination of a hot/war humid continental climate and an arid climate.

The physical geography of America just like its people: diverse, from the Great Lakes to the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains to

    The settlers of New England and the Chesapeake region may have migrated from the same origin, but that’s where the similarities end; by the 1700s, they differed socially, economically, and politically. As people began to migrate over to the New World, they started to adapt to the regions around them. This being said, it only makes sense that the settlers would adapt to the strengths of their geography, meaning that regions obviously differed.…

    New England and the Chesapeake Bay had both evolved into two distinct societies because of their physical and religious differences. Both of these areas had started off equally (population wise, etc.), everyone had equal rights and settling in many different areas of the region. New England started to look towards religious ways to live, while people in the Chesapeake Region started to reply on money and crops, along with goods and raw materials that were being traded back and forth.

    The similarities that the Northeast and Midwest both have in common were that they both were well-developed and had people living in these urban places. In addition to the urban places, the Northeast and Midwest both reach over the 50% mark and had people still sweeping in, and passing over 75 percentile range. The “Northeast area was settled earlier than other parts of the country” and was the first to have the settlement of an urban location, which later in the years has transition to the Midwest, making it the second place to have been “aggressively settled and developed by the people from the Northeast.” In comparison to the South and West, they were the “least urbanized region of the country”, because not many people settled there. Today,…

    The Northeastern region had a large amount of family farms. The exception to this was New England, which found raising cattle to be more profitable. New York and Pennsylvania had large amounts of fertile land for farming. The family farms that existed focused primarily on providing for their families. Once their family’s needs were met, goods were often exchanged with local towns for needed supplies. Forests were heavily thinned due to the need for lumber supplies in winter. Most of the population lived off the land, but a growing number of people began to become artisans. These people would eventually move to urban areas where industrialization had taken place.…
