It also had very descriptive pictures that one could visualize what it was like back in the day will reading. This site is related to chapter 2 out of the book that we read because it talks about the Mayflower and Plymouth Colony, Thanksgiving, Puritan life, and how New England expanded.…
The Chesapeake region consists of Maryland and Virginia, and the New England colonies consists of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Even though they were both settled around the same time period, 1607 to 1700, the two regions differ greatly. From the time period of their original settlement in 1607, the Chesapeake region developed differently from the New England colonies due to their differences in geography, motives for settlement and the socioeconomic backgrounds of their original settlers.…

In the 1600s The New England colonies started developing having their own kinds of social, political, and economic views. They had great influence on the way they rand things from the puritans.

Not only did they change how religion was connected to politics they kept the small town democracy which laid the base for the future.

In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…
England in the 1620s was filled with tension between the Puritans and King James I and his son Charles I. Their primary goal for their country was to revive Roman Catholicism and rid of any religions that would not conform; so, they mainly targeted Puritans. This intolerance motivated the Puritans to pursue their economic interests (which later turned into religious interests) and establish a place for themselves in the New England colonies in 1630. What they originally intended was to create a colony in which they could practice their religion freely. They did not think of accepting others. Eventually, their society became just as strict as English society: their political, social, and economic advancements were structured and very much parochial.…
New England had a stronger economy than the Southern colonies even though it was mostly based off of lumber, fishing, and manufacturing. But since they had big port cities, like Boston and New York, they traded a lot with other places and made a lot more money that way compared to the Southern colonies…
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.…

One quality used to characterize the colony regions is its geography and climate. Both the Southern and Middle colonies have fertile soil and long growing seasons, while the New England colonies have very poor soil. The Backcountry of the Southern colonies contained mountains, springs, streams, rivers, forests and rough roads. The New England colonies also had forests, and the Middle colonies had coastal lowlands containing harbors (such as the New York Port) and bays. The New England colonies had the longest, coldest winters, the Middle colonies had a milder climate, and the Southern colonies had the warmest climate. Geography and climate is one way colonial regions are compared and contrasted.…
