In the 1600’s, the New England colony devolved very rapidly. The political, economic, and social development of the colonies was highly influenced by the Puritans, who helped find most of the colonies in the region after emigrating there from England. The Puritans strict values and ideas helped shape the colonies greatly in several ways. They believed in a representative government which later on became an essential part of the United States’ government. Economically, the idea of fair priced goods also came from the Puritans. Strict values in church, religion, and community were all Puritan customs that helped social development in the 1600’s.…
Both the New England and Chesapeake region were both settled largely by immigrants of English descent but evolved into two very explicit societies by the 1700s. A large distinction developed in the two contrasting regions, some of the benefits would lure settlers in and some negatives and cons would repel them into the other colonies. Through differences in political, economic, religious, social, intellectual, and artistic concepts of the colonists, a divergence separated the Chesapeake region from the New England settlements.…
There is many differences between the New England and the Chesapeake colonies, for example their different economic sources. The New England people left Europe in hopes to find economic prosperity and a better chance at life. For instance many young families set out to the Americas during the early 1600’s according to document B. In the New England Colonies the main source of profit was through Fishing, ship building, and lumbering. The colonist knew that this economy basis would bring in the most profit because of the infertile soil in the area. In addition the climate was very different in contrast to the Chesapeake colonies were they would make cash crops due to the high humidity. The Chesapeake colonist made profit through cash crops and a plantation economy. We see that many men went to Virginia in hope to get money quick, and they did not plan to stay long due to the lack of women incorporated in document C. The economies of the Chesapeake region where centralized around cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. This was the easiest and most efficient way to make money due to the cheap labor from indentured servants. Indentured servants would later show problems in Bacon’s Rebellion thus making wealthy land owners turn their heads to slaves from Africa through the triangular trade for free labor. The Chesapeake and the New England colonies had ways to make money, but where very different in how they made it due to geographic and social differences.…
"The New England Colonies" , was directed by someone, is about history of The New England Colonies. The founders of the New England colonies was a completely different mission from the Jamestown settlers. Despite the economic prosperity was another goal settlers of New England, their true purpose was spiritual. Fed up with the ceremonial Church of England, the Pilgrims and the Puritans sought to recreate the society in the manner they think God really intended it to be developed. Religious hostility reached a peak in England in the 1500s. When Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church of Rome, the spiritual life in England was turned over.

give bills of payment, gold rings and fur were welcome to purchase other supplies." Most of those who settled in the Chesapeake Bay region had come to make money. In the southern climate, they were able to grow tobacco and make money by exporting it. They prospered through a planting based economy. This kind of economy also meant that they depended on slaves more than those in New England. The settlers in the New England region concentrated on shipping. They had a more manufacturing based economy. This difference in economies was another reason that the two societies were so different.…
1. The West Indies and the New England societies were very different in many different ways. Their religions, foods, economies, etc were all very different, and were not similar to the other at all. The Chesapeake inherited a little bit of everything from these two societies, which is why they were considered a middle ground. They didn’t have everything from New England, and didn’t have everything from the West Indies. Because of this, Chesapeake was considered a middle ground between the polar opposites - West Indies and New England.…
During the seventh century, Europeans established colonies in North America. The English colonies were originally established because proprietors from England were granted charters to settle and govern lands. Other European colonies were established around trading posts. Over time, the English gained control of the thirteen colonies through force or purchase; eventually, by regions were known as the Southern, Middle and New England colonies. Although the colonies were under the control of the English and had many commonalities, each region created a distinct culture. These similarities and differences can be evidenced when comparing the role of African Americans, a role of women, and types of settlers of the Middle colonies and The Southern…

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. The social structures were different, because the New England colonies didn’t believe in slavery, so the social ladders were not the same. 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.`…

A new wave of colonialism took shape after the early explorations during the early modern period between the years 1450 and 1750. During this time, major European settlements developed direct empires overseas. These settlements include the colonial empires in both North and South America and in colonial possessions in Africa and Asia. Like most colonies, these three had a few similarities in addition to many contrasting differences.…
Although the settlers of the New England and Chesapeake region were both settled by people of English origin, by the 1700s, they had transformed into very different societies. This was because of a number of reasons. Between the settlers, the New Englanders moved for religious purposes, while Chesapeakes moved for want for material wealth.The people of New England also consisted of more families than the predominantly young male population of the Chesapeake. Their governing styles were also different, New England being more about fairness and equity while their southern neighbors were more concerned with gaining material wealth and not about helping the poorer of their communities.…
The New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by English colonists. Most colonists moving from Great Britain to New England were families searching for religious salvation, rather than mostly the single men that traveled to the Chesapeake area in search of wealth. The immigrants of the Chesapeake area were greeted with a climate and soil that were perfect for cultivating tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. Those settling in New England could not rely on farming to support themselves because of the rocky soil in the north. While the majority of the Chesapeake colonists were not as cohesive due to the great distance from farms to these towns, New England had close-knit church events, meetings, and schools. Although, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by people at English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies because of motives, environment, and towns/communities.…
