    The New England Colonists highly valued religion and rules. Some well known colonists are the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims came to the New England Colonies for freedom of religion. They believed that the Church of England had gone to far beyond Christ’s teachings. There way of dealing with serious crimes was execution. The lesser crimes were handled with fines.

The pastor was not essential to the church. Another well known group of colonists are the Puritans.…

    A normal day for a married woman would consist of doing the housework which incudes cooking, cleaning, feeding the animals, sewing and more. “…I think you want to do other things besides learn how to feather-stitch and drop curtseys to rude rich old hags at the Ragged School.” P.57.

    In New England colonies, slaves were not needed as much as the other colonies, specifically the southern colonies because there was no labor for slaves to do because of the lack of good farming areas. Due to the cold, long, and harsh winters, farming in the New England colonies was a challenge and the growing season was very short. The soil was also rocky as well, so the farmers had to talk all the rocks out before planting.
