Difference in Ideals: Chesapeake and New England Regions
The Chesapeake and New England regions harbored two different societies though each region had a large population that was of English decent this was due to many reasons the two societies settled in the Chesapeake and New England regions. For example the settlers in the New England region migrated to the Americas to escape the Church of England and to be their own church that would be based on their ideals. The settlers in the Chesapeake region were there on behalf of the Church of England as well to make money for themselves. The economy in both of the regions differed as well because of the difference in ideals. Moreover the New England region wanted equality between everyone no matter the stature of the family and that was largely due to their religion, whereas the settlers in the Chesapeake region where there to make money and it was based on your social class. Politics played a major role in the Chesapeake region because it was determined by how much money the settlers made. In the New England region politics was based on religion, which was determined by your role in the church and ultimately the society.
Religion played a major role in the New England societies because of the lifestyle of the Puritans. The role of religion can be seen in the Articles of Agreement, which states that the puritans believed that nothing should take away from the glory of God and that no one person should have more than they need because it would take away from him. This ideal differs greatly when compared to the Chesapeake region. This is mainly because the settlers in the Chesapeake region were there to make money and not to become a part of a new church. This is seen purely by the ships list of emigrants headed to Virginia. The list is made up of young men are able to work and very few young women and also has no order of importance or by family. The ships list also states that the immigrants have previously taken their oaths to the Church of England. Compared to the Ships
