As a whole‚ I believe economic development had a larger impact on colonial settlement than religious concerns‚ but this varies with the individual colonies. Each colony had something different to offer England and a different motive for settling. New England came about because the Puritans and Separatists wanted a place to worship free the original Church of England. Virginia‚ on the other hand‚ was established at first as a trade colony and base for gold and precious metal expeditions. The Maryland

Entertainment of the 16th and 17th Century: Elizabethan Theater Elizabethan Theater was a main source of entertainment from about 1576 to the late 1640s.

Although New England and the Chesapeake regions 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? Since Columbus discovered America‚ people from Europe were avid to lunch there to explore the New World. Most people went there for religion purposes and money‚ but as they set up their own regions‚ they governed their lands in different ways. Specifically‚ New England and Chesapeake

During the 17th century‚ the Netherlands appears to become a very powerful country‚ as well as from an economic and political point of view‚ or from a cultural point a view. Dutch artists come up with new styles of paintings and new techniques‚ and it seems that Dutch patrons give more freedom to artists‚ compared to Italian patrons.

The Puritans of the New England colonies influenced the development of political‚ economical‚ and social areas throughout the 1630’s-1670 with their ideas and values. They had emigrated from Britain in order to express their beliefs and practices freely. Religion was the foundation of the political‚ economical‚ and social developments of the Puritans.

Racial Issues in the 17th Century During the 17th century‚ colonialism led to the development of both the social‚ racial and political institutions.

Although the New England and Chesapeake regions originated from England‚ they developed into two different societies. Religious toleration‚ economic opportunity‚ and government positions attributed to their development. The New England colony was made up entirely of Puritans and Separatists.

middle class meant few consumers‚ and many industries never arose to a great extent. Most goods were bought by the rich landowners‚ of whom there weren’t many.

Very few of them knew more than a few of the others‚ there was no reason to. Each plantation
