The middle colonies consisted of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Finally the Southern colonies were Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas , and Georgia.

The 13 colonies in North America struggled for independence. The British government passed many laws and took action that the colonists felt were unfair. As a result, the American Colonists took actions to oppose the British rulers.
The extent to which the conflict between Great Britain and her North American colonies was economic in origin rather than rooted in political and social controversies and differences. For example, the imposement on trade and taxation on imports and exports.
British North America by the mid 1700’s consisted of three major regions. The New England region included the colonies of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Region included the colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The Southern Region, also known as the Chesapeake Colonies, included the Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Although all three regions consisted of British colonies, each region differed in terms of climate, geography, population, politics, economy, and religious attitudes. Daily life was very different for the people who lived in each of these
When we think of our country now, we think about how it is separated into states, but back then the states were part of colonies. Some of the main colonies were the Chesapeake colonies which consisted of Virginia and Maryland, the middle colonies were Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, and lastly, the New England colonies which were Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. In the colonial regions of New England, Chesapeake and the middle colonies they all share similarities and differences, most predominantly shown in family life, rank and status.
It affected them geographically, by sparking an interest into getting rich, and it also threw light on the idea of trade routes/ trading, which gave people the reality of “ striking rich”. The colonists were also affected economically. Once the colonists were introduced to mercantilism. Soon, Merchants believed that the world's wealth was finite and that one nation could only grow rich at the expense of another. The merchants practiced this by extracting and importing wealth from foreign lands while exporting little wealth from home. Much of the growth of the American colonies came from religious groups. There were many problems between catholics and protestants, such as when Lord Baltimore ( business owner) adopted a policy of religious
This decade portrays the exploration of the Europeans to the American colonies which allowed England, France, Holland, Spain, and British to colonize with other lands and obtain power by expanding their territory. Nevertheless, England rose as the country with the dominant colonial power. Throughout this decade, the demand for silver and other valued items influenced trade globally by commercializing and strengthening European trade. In addition, the desire for power and control enriched the economy of the Europeans. The rise of European colonization also shaped cultural globalization since traders established various ethnic societies in foreign regions. European explorers were to stop at nothing in order to achieve success in expanding their
The east coast of America used to be split into three different groups of colonies. These colonies were called the Thirteen Colonies, they were split into the Middle Colonies, the Southern Colonies, and the New England Colonies. Two of the colonies, Middle, and Southern have many similarities and differences between them.
The policy-makers of England wanted to establish colonies in America because of economic and political change, religion and to increase their power. The economic change was due to the Enclosure Acts. The Enclosure Acts was the end to the open field system of sheep mostly, which had been the way people farmed in England for centuries. The abundance of wool made the landowners, merchants and suppliers very wealthy, but the migrants could not survive for being uprooted. The new world colonies were a hopeful choice to the migrants, but England’s upper-class saw the new world colonies as an answer to their problem of what to do with the growing number of poor people and those that were dissatisfied with the English government.
Early life in the Americas consisted of great diversity as well as some similarities between colonies. During the colonial time period from about the 1600’s through the 1700’s, the thirteen original colonies were founded and divided among three major sections known as the New England colonies, the Middle colonies, and the Southern colonies. The New England colonies consisted of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. The Middle colonies contained New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The Southern colonies included Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Geography was a primary influence on the colonial way of life. The New England colonies and the Southern colonies vary
The Three Colonies Have you ever imagined what New England, Middle, and southern colonies did or what they had to go through? Well, for each region other colonies settled in these regions, had different economies, and society. Each region are different, but some have similarities like dealing with slaves. Each and every one of these regions have significant styles on how they dealt with; surviving, working, earning money, and the way they had to live in each individual region. In each region they had different feels towards religion and how consequences occurred towards those who sinned.
Colonies, colonies, we all should know that a colony is a region of land that is under the political control of another country. According to the passage, "the colonies began with the founding of Jamestown until the beginning of the Revolutionary War." The author explains, that there is are 13 colonies divided into three groups, Northern, southern and middle. The reason for this is that they all have idiosyncratic backgrounds. The New England (Northern), Southern, and Middle colonies are different, particularly in terms of land, labor, religion, native relations, and etc. The colonies, although they were all British they had some similarities, but mainly they had differences.
The seventeenth century brought plenty of changes to North America. One of the most significant ones was the formation of the thirteen colonies along the North American east coast. These colonies are generally divided into New England, Middle and South or the Chesapeake regions. Most of these colonies were settled by the British, yet they developed differently as the years went by. Some developed into more egalitarian colonies and some not. The greatest differences could be seen in the New England and Chesapeake regions. Even though the New England and Chesapeake regions were settled originally by The British, they had their own differences which were influenced by many of factors, including the reasons they were founded, their social
The thirteen colonies were divided into three groups based on geography: New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. The New England Colonies were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. The Middle Colonies were New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The Southern Colonies were Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina,
After the first few struggling settlements in the New World progressed, more and more colonies sprung from the untested North American soil. Eventually, there were three main categories to the European colonies. They were each unique, although one certain class stood in stark contrast to the other two. This group, the Middle colonies, was a halfway point between the New England and Southern colonies – and not just geographically. The Middle colonies extracted parts of its neighbors, like farming habits and spiritual sects, but the middle group managed to retain its own flavor.
The European conquest for establishing North American colonies began with various motivations, each dependent on different, and/or merging necessities: economics, the desire to flee negative societal aspects, and the search for religious freedoms. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 in search for a trade route to Cathay (China), North America remained uninhabited, excluding the Native American establishments. Following this discovery, Spain –along with other European nations such as France, England, Sweden and the Netherlands– soon began the expedition to the new land with vast expectations. Driven by economic, societal, and religious purposes, the New World developed into a diversely structured colonial establishment
