The conneticut river is the longest, it flows from new hampshire and vermont through massachusetts and connectucut before reaching the Atlantic ocean. Off New England’s jagged coastline are the richest fishing grounds.
Puritans were the leaders in the area the were in charge of most stuff the made it so men of the church could vote but it was not a democracy. Governor Winthrop calls democracy the "meanest and worst" of all forms of government because he distrusted the common people.

By the end of the seventeenth century, New England colonists had tapped into a sprawling Atlantic trade network that connected them to the English homeland as well as the West African slave coast, the Caribbean's plantation islands, and the Iberian Peninsula. Colonists relied upon British and European imports for glass, linens, hardware, machinery, navigational instruments, paint, and other household items.
