Both the economics and politics greatly differed between Massachusetts and Virginia between 1607 and 1750. The differences in the percentage of classes were unbelievably large and their entire economic structure differed from each other.

The plantation owners had to buy slaves to work the fields so the slave trade industry in Virginia was also a huge factor. The plantation owners were in the very rich, elite category and pretty much ran the politics. Virginia had a ridiculously small middle class and they barely had any say in the elections. The poor classes of Virginia were about 80%of the population and were not even allowed to vote. This made the state/colony of Virginia a very un-democratic and un-representative. There was very little cash flow in Virginia because the elite plantation owners flaunted their wealth as a display of power. This was necessary because this display of power kept the slaves and poor people of the community from revolting. The economy of Virginia was very fragile and brittle. All it would have taken was one drought or one bad tobacco year and Virginia would have been severely hurt economically.…

In the early settlements of the New World known as America today, the Puritan Community settled in what they used to call New England. Frustrated by the Church of England, they fled to the New World because they were being prosecuted and they wanted to establish a new sect in which God’s law was held supreme. They believed that the Bible and it’s message was the law of the land and no man could oppose it. Following what the Bible said, they believed it was their salvation into having a place in heaven. Their community consisted of religious faith and strict discipline. Another belief they had was that people were either born sinful and bound to live in Hell, and that only living in purity and praying to God would save them. They believed that natural disasters would be the work of the devil and its followers. This strict lifestyle cause them to become paranoid and suspicious of each other.
