Throughout the late 16th and into the 17th century, European nations briskly inhabited America. There were many groups sent out to North America at this time. The two main areas were known as the Chesapeake as well as The New England. By the time the 1700s rolled around, these two provinces began to coincide to become one nation despite their differences. The major significant difference in these two areas was the reason pertaining to why the newcomers came to the New World; because of this, the colonies were effected socially, politically, as well as economically.…
The Union would have been at a disadvantage if Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) joined them. Texas to the south and west, Arkansas to the east were Confederate. Kansas to the north was part of the Union, but very few people settled there. It provided very little, if any, protection for the Indian tribes.…

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.…

Both the Upper South and the Lower South were undeniably dependent on slave labor to make profits.…
When widespread immigration to the New World began, the immigration was not an equal distribution of people of all motives and cultures. People immigrated to certain areas of the New World based on what they hoped to achieve there. Some people were seeking relief from religious persecution, while others hoped to make a fortune in the new, abundant land. These varying motives lead to people with similar motives settling near other people with similar beliefs. One group of these people tended to immigrate to the region known today as New England.…
The United States, after the American Revolution in 1765 and 1783, became a nation that consists of two distinct and very different regions: the North and the South. It wasn’t until 1800 and 1850 that there were quite a few differences between the North and the South. Both regions differ greatly in their economies as it grew stronger during these years causing a drift in between the two regions. The differences became more and more dangerous for the unity of the Union as well as making became harder to change.

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…
