Midwest Compare And Contrast

The geography and the climate influenced the economy of the middle region. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware are part of this region. This region is also known as the Breadbasket colonies. It has short winters and warm summers which impacted the region because it had longer growing seasons than the New England Colonies. Another geography is fertile soil.

The North, South, and Western parts of the United States between 1800 through 1850 all had significant differences but also has similarities as well; based on their economy, social structure, daily life, and social attitudes.

The Great Plains are located between the South and Midwest regions to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. The Great Plains Indians were dictated by climate, land,

The Northern and Southern colonies had many differences and similarities in the way the world was maintained and controlled. There are comparisons and contrast that can be discovered through political, social, and economical. There regions developed an identity that would affect the American economy. The South it meant agricultural production and the North it meant a collection in resources for the purpose of industrial manufacturing.

Every state in the U.S. is different, which is the beauty of the country. These differences are however, not at all recently carved. Nearly 100 years before its birth, parts of the nation had divided and set themselves apart from one another. The regions of New England and the Chesapeake area would make themselves vastly unlike each other through their people, communities, and governments.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the idea of the far west captivated many. The chance to begin life anew attracted thousands of individuals and families alike to move out west and escape their current life, which was usually full of poverty and for some, full of discrimination. As the west expanded and grew into an important part of the United States, westerners found it somewhat difficult to survive with important resources going scarce. Although the

Families of pioneers swept westward and founded new communities throughout what is now the Midwest, and between 1816 and 1821, six new states were admitted to the Union.

Development in the West did not occur until later in American History. Although the West was seen as a large desert, the West quickly became the target behind the expansionist campaigns of the United States during the 18th century. Many settlers travelled to the West, dreaming of the idea of opportunities. Although factors such as Native Americans, motivations and railroads played a large role in shaping the West, their influence came about only as the result of the inherent economic potential of the region, as well as the incredibly diverse climate which outnumbered all else in the development in the West.

The populations in the North contain a majority of immigrants who came from Europe and Asia in the mid-1800s looking for a new beginning in the United States while escaping from the war happening in Europe and looking for a new discovery of the world. Also because there were majority of immigrants in the North, they consist about a two-third of the labor force. Which created a competition in the labor market while, at the same time, keeps wages from growing vey quickly. In addition because there were more industries in the North, the labor was considered more expensive and the workers were mobile and active. On the other hand, transportation like railroads ran mostly through the Northern states making it easier for transporting goods and contributing to the growth of industries and cities.

The rise of Andrew Jackson, the first president form beyond the Appalachian Mountains, exemplified the inexorable westward march of the American people; the West, with its raw frontier, was the most typically American part of America

The Northeast had more merchants and business people involved with trade and manufactures. Their economy was more dependent on trade companies with skilled laborers. There proximity to the sea and natural ports helped facilitate. Whereas in the South, there economy was agriculture and plant based with natural raw materials. For example their cash crop was cotton. Their economy was rather successful and didn’t need an economic industrial transformation.

The west is a vast of lands west of the Mississippi river. Before white people came to the land, it was inhabited for centuries by tanned skinned Native Americans whose ways of living are far different from the foreign people. For centuries big colonial empires tried various ways to claim the west until it became a part of United States of America. However, many Natives sacrificed their lives to protect their land, yet in the end their arrows cannot match the power of the foreigner 's guns and cannons. The west is not only abundant in terms of resources, but also in folklore, history, and became the birth of the modern American culture. Furthermore, PBS provided a helpful links in order to understand and appreciate the stories about the stories about how the west became the frontier of United States. These links are "The People" and "Empire upon the Trails" which gave some interesting facts about the beginning of the West.

The Westward Expansion has often been regarded as the central theme of American history, down to the end of the19th century and as the main factor in the shaping of American history. As Frederick Jackson Turner says, the greatest force or influence in shaping American democracy and society had been that there was so much free land in America and this profoundly affected American society. Motives After the revolution, the winning of independence opened up the Western country and was hence followed by a steady flow of settlers to the Mississippi valley. By 1840, 10 new western states had been added to the Federal union. The frontier line ran through Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas on the western side

The values of each the North, Middle, and South colonies were different. Each region had things that they were good at and things that they were not good at. To decide which region was the best, I have chosen three factors to focus on, economy, cultural values, and physical geography. It would seem if a region were to outperform the others in this analysis, it would be the best.

Through our fieldwork along with some Internet research, we were able to identify the major differences between these regions. These consist of:
