The New England Colonies

New England is the name given to the Northeastern location of the United States, encompassing Massachusetts to Maine. The name “New England” comes from Captain John Smith, famous explorer of the Chesapeake region, who wrote a piece about the abundance of resources and wealth of the region in a propaganda piece, A Description of New England, in 1616. However, the “New England” region that is known today is nowhere near a literal new England. Due to differences in religious beliefs, climate and geography

The New World was divided into three parts known as the New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. These colonies were established for many reasons to benefit the settlers who were coming from countries around the world. Most of their motives were similar, but others were very different. Specifically, the New England Colonies and the Southern were similar and different in many aspects concerning their religion, politics, and economics. The New England Colonies differed from the

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

Final Doc! Throughout New England Colony life they have very strict rules and will not tolerate bad behavior. There so strict in fact they have a man called the tithingman, the tithingman whacks people in the head if there asleep in church and he tickles the females. If the children are misbehaving then the tithingman punishes them to, if this keeps going on the tithing man will find their parents and whack or tickle them to (how embarrassing). The New england colonies practiced slavery throughout

as well as economically. In the British colonies before 1700, the colonies could be dispersed into two distinct regions, the Chesapeake colonies, and New England colonies. Both areas varied in religion and economy, and thrived in different ways. For the New England colonies, the offering of religious freedom and an end to persecution in England caused many Puritans to sail to New England. However, the main motivation for people going to the Chesapeake colonies was to get rich fast, as well as other

as a single colony, the New England colony eventually expanded to form the Middle colonies, Southern colonies, and the Chesapeake colonies. The Chesapeake and New England colonies both stemmed from England, but developed in a way that made them each very unique in the way that they developed. Developing around different intentions, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were unique due to their different economic and social structures. The social interactions that the New England and Chesapeake

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

different early American colonies.The settlers in these colonies came from many different places such as; England, France, Spain, and The Netherlands. Also, the settlers in these colonies settled for many different reasons. The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies developed a different way of life because of differences in aspects of life such as; government, religion, and geography. To begin, the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies developed a different way of life because of differences

I first went to Hartford in Connecticut. It was in the New England Colonies. It first seemed pretty good, because they didn’t really have slaves. Which I was surprised about. They apparently think that hiring workers cost less than owning slaves, so they hired a lot of workers instead. My husband also thinks it’s a bit weird, but I guess we agree with them. I also learned that the New England colonies had the best public schooling. The children were like required to go to school, which I definitely

Although the Chesapeake and New England colonies were the earliest English colonies to flourish in the New World, they were both extremely different in the ways that they developed. Similarities between the colonies can be found, but the colonies were mostly different. The colonies differed most in religion, society, culture, economy, and their relationships with the American Indians of the region. The reasons for such differences can be understood by realizing that the colonies were settled by incredibly
