Compare And Contrast Northern And Southern Colonies

The Northern and Southern colonies share many similarities when it comes to government leadership, immigration, the treatment of women and the use of slavery. However there are also several differences that influence the social structure of the respective territories.

Both the northern and southern colonies had a lot in common (Kennedy, 72). They were agriculture societies, English in language and customs, Protestant in religion; there was social mobility, and the colonies possessed some form of self-government (Kennedy, 72). Also, both southern and northern colonies use some form of slavery either Africans captured as slaves or indentured people. The most important factor explaining the different ways of life between the southern and northern colonies was the climate.

The colonies of the south and the New England had one similarity; there relationship with the natives. Both of the colonies had very bad relations with the natives. The south needed the native land for tobacco plantations, which caused a lot of conflict between the two groups. The conflict escalated to the point where the southerners gave the natives blankets

Both the New England colonies and the Southern colonies seemed as though they might be the same. They both started out with the majority of people being from England, they were both in the New World, and they were both ruled by England but, as time went on this theory was proven wrong. The New England colonies and the Southern colonies had many common characteristics but these two regions were very different geographically, politically, and socially.

By the 1700’s, The northern and souther colonies had evolved into two distinct societies. This is so because the northern and southern colonies had different environments and also different reasons of settlement. The North was established for mainly religious freedom, while on the other hand, the south had been established for economic freedom. The climate also affected the different turnout of the north and the south. The north was much colder and so their soil was not beneficial for farming, so the people of the north found other jobs, while on the other side, the south had rich soil and the colonists there used that idea to set up huge plantations and farms.

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.

Slavery was probably the most influential factor in the developing differences between the two cultures. Southern cultures developed a farm economy that could not survive without slave labor. Slave owners often became leaders in there communities. They were members in their local governments. Laws were made that prevented slaves from marrying, own property, or earn their freedom. These laws also did not allow slaves to be educated. Because all the hard work was done by the slaves, the slave owners had time and the education to greatly influence political life in southern colonies. Slavery did not become a force in the northern colonies because of different economical reasons. The cold weather and poor soil did not support the farm economy that the south had. This resulted in the northern colonies to depend on an economy that included manufacturing and trade.

Politically, North and South had differences on who had the bigger voice in society. The North had church memberships in which to be accepted into the colony. The church controlled the laws and the most acknowledgment in the colony. In the South, instead of church members being bosses the land owners were the dominant parties. The landowners were the wealthiest and had control over the laws. Even though they had rulers for the society both the north and south had governments which controlled and ruled. The North and South had legislatures that had the power to create, amend, and ratify the laws. Both side of the government was politically similar even though they had opposite sides.

To look into the economic status for both colonies, they had more differences than similarities. The South had large farms and plantations, on the other hand, north had small farms and few plantations. North had more raw materials to trade than the South, but as mentioned the South had larger farms and work areas. The North colonies mostly traded cotton, they were very popular about their cotton. So, the South was agriculture more than the North. Northern focused on farming, fishing, and trade with the Atlantic's (Lecture, Economies of Early British Colonies). People in North were mostly focused on building communities, because they traveled and came into North as families, unlike the South who were mainly focused on agriculture for export

Over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, many origins of people arrived in the new world. Whether it had been for religious, economic, or other various reasons, the groups of people all ended up in the same region. The New England Colonies and the Southern Colonies were the two distinct societies that were set up in the new world. The New England and Southern Colonies had many differences and similarities centered on reasons for arrival, slavery, forms of government and economy.

There were also many likenesses and differences between New England and Southern Economy. New England was more focused on living a peaceful, religious life. On the other hand, in the South they were focused on making as much money

The northern and southern colonies, which were founded in the early 1600s. Both shared similarities and differences in reasons for settlement, economics basis, and geography. The northern and southern colonies also shared differences and similarities for hardships, leaders, relationships with the Native Americans, problems and resolutions, growths and changes, and the types of governments.

These similarities and differences can be evidenced when comparing the climate, use of slaves, and religion of the New England and Southern Colonies.

The south had a smaller population that relied on exportation of tobacco and cotton as their main source of income. The more land and slaves one owned the wealthier they were. The south was wealthy and growing but rejected the ideologies of the north. They wanted to keep the rural and conservative lifestyle. The southerners did not encourage education, manufacturing, and technological advances the way the northerners did in fact, a small percentage of southerners were

There are many similarities between the middle and southern colonies. For example, both the middle and the southern colonies had religious freedom which meant that people could practice any religion that they chose to follow. Many immigrants from other countries came to live in the colonies because of the religious freedoms promised to them. Secondly, the southern and middle colonies also grew cash crops. Cash crops are crops that were grown and sold for money instead of growing them for their family to eat throughout
