Each of the three English colonial regions in the late 1600s through the 1700s were all very different, but still had several similarities and one large common goal. Every region had its own geography, climate, economy, and social features that made them stand apart from each other. The first of these three regions was the New England Colonies in the north. Due to its location, there were very cold winters and mild summers. The soil was also rocky, so farming was difficult. The coast was very flat and there were some hills toward the inland parts, but without fertile soil and warmer weather farming was not a lucrative activity. As for the economy, they mainly relied on the ocean for fishing, building and selling ships, whaling, trapping, and

Your origin statement covers all necessary bases (author, primary v. secondary, date of creation) and even ventures further by including a small description of what the source covers.

    The New England colonies and the Southern colonies are slightly similar in some aspects, but drastically different in most. For example the new england colonies were strictly puritan and they did not tolerate any other religion but the southern colonies were not dominated by a single religion which gave way to more liberal attitudes and some religious freedom. The economy of New England was powered mostly the manufacturing in factories, whereas the Southern colonies’ economies were more agriculturally based.

Religious tolerance was another major difference in these two regions. Overall the New England and Southern colonies are slightly similar, but their differences set them apart from each other.`…
