People from Europe hoped to move into the colonies in the Americas for religious freedom and to better their lives through promises of more land, property, and profitability.

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

Puritans: The Molders of Colonial New England A division of English protestants, called the Puritans, wanted to purify the Church of England’s unbiblical ways. When their efforts only led to persecution, their desire to worship God biblically compelled them to leave England.

They were hoping for better opportunities within their colonies such as learning to manage money, to hunt and fish, and build homes for themselves; many did not know how to do these things before their travel. In the New World, they were also able to gain freedom, something they didn’t have in England. Eventually

Liz and two average) I will introduce the lesson by having students Think-Pair-Share in their mixed ability group to guess why people from Europe built colonies in New England and discuss what they know about colonies and why people established them. Then, read You Are There p.178 asking student to Think-Pair-Share what challenges early New England colonist faced. I will handout questions chart with instructions according to each student’s readiness level,

Religious toleration was established in the colonies whereas persecution was still occurring in England. In addition, the colonists extended concepts of liberty and self -government to a greater extent than the British did as well as developed

did the New England and Chesapeake colonies differ so much? Although both these colonies where inhabited by people of English origin the similarities ended there. Such factors as motive of settlement, the settlers themselves and even geography of settlement all shaped these colonies into two very distinctive societies. The settlers who first landed in Jamestown had very different aspirations than the puritans who landed later in the New England area. Although both saw the new world as

to the Thirteen Colonies. Each region had a different religious belief, their farming season lasted differently and they were governed in an organized manner. The Thirteen Colonies were divided into three regions the New England colonies, Middle Colonies and the Southern colonies, they were founded in 1607. Eventually they were what formed the Unites States (US). The Middle Colonies were known as the bread basket colonies because of the amount of wheat they grew, the England colonies didn’t grow as
