    The colonists believed in actual representation, meaning that the colonists believed the representatives that they elected to represent them directly. Actual representation made sense to the colonists because it was more of a reality in America. Although both the colonists and the British believed in the concept of no taxation without representation, they still weren't able to agree on the meaning of representation.

So the geography played a major role in the colonists winning their freedom. The geography helped the colonists hide when being shot and shooting the British while the British were walking uphill tired .…

Since England did not find the golden success that the Spanish did down South, they had to settle on the natural resources of America. These resources such as timber and tobacco were essential to England’s own economy. Instead of having to buy these materials from other countries they were able to find them in colonial America. In 1650, Britain takes measures to ensure that mercantilism would boost their own economy instead of others.…

    Geography being the primary factor in shaping the development of the British colonies proves to be a true statement. When Columbus set sail he misjudged the earth’s size on his journey to the Indies and landed in the Bahamas (Kennedy 9). The first British colony established in the New World was Jamestown in 1607. Due to the geographical placement of rivers and mountains and anything that could be a barrier in that time period in the land itself was a huge contributor to the development of the colonies.…

    In the early sixteenth century, the English began the colonization of North America by establishing colonies in New England and in the South. These two regions were very different from one-another and thus provided the colonists with very different challenges. Due to environmental factors such as soil quality and the need for cheap labor, the New England colonies and the Southern colonies were forced to find different economic solutions that would allow them to flourish and survive. The Southern colonies were fortunate to have settled on rich farm land with a warm climate that allowed them to farm year round.…

    The economic benefits of slavery were too large to ignore, although the North was more liberal and quicker to distance itself from slavery publicly, as a whole it was still very involved. Without the large plantations of the South, the visibility of Northern slavery was usually well hidden and publicity of slavery virtually non-existent. While most believe the North was completely against slavery, the surprising fact is the North were just as involved with slave trade as the South was involved with the use of slaves, especially when one considers the triangle trade.

    Due to the geographic differences between the Northern and Southern colonies, the development of their economies was based off of different goods and services. In the South, with its “temperate climate and long growing season” (Davidson, et al 88), colonists found that the soil was fertile and therefore suitable for the large scale growth of first, tobacco, but later other crops including indigo, rice, and cotton. Southern colonist could grow these crops essentially all year as the temperature in the region remained the same. Unfortunately, the geography of the region did not allow for “good harbors and navigable rivers” (Davidson, et al 74), ensuring that the Southern colonies would remain mostly agricultural. In contrast, the Northern colonies…
