16 New England and Chesapeake Region's Distinct Societies DBQ The first colonies established by England were founded near the Chesapeake region, and soon enough others began to form in New England.

The people who came to the New England and Chesapeake colonies shared England as their birthplace, but not much else. The colonies developed into two distinct societies because of the social, economic, political and religious differences among the immigrants. Religion was valued greatly by New Englanders, and not nearly as much by Chesapeake settlers. Physical climate and economic motivations had an impact on why the colonies were formed. Demography was also a key factor in forming the different colonial regions because many young single men went to the Chesapeake colonies, and wealthier families went to the the northern New England colonies.…

The Middle Colonies had very fertile soil, which they used to grow crops. No one faith dominated the Middle Colonies, the colonies were made up of Quakers, Lutherans, Calvinists, and Presbyterian.

Beginning in the early 17th Century, English settlers scattered themselves along the eastern coast forming some of the first clearly defined regions of the United States. While both the New England colonies and the Chesapeake colonies had deep-seated aversion for the natives, they differed in their religious homogeneity and economic policies. The New England colonies were strictly Puritan whereas the Chesapeake colonies followed no universal religion; also, while the New England colonies relied on fishing, shipbuilding, and farming, the Chesapeake colonies relied on their strong tobacco based economy. Although both regions were eventually conquered by the British and forced to merge as one nation, the New England colonies and the Chesapeake…

The diverse amount of religious groups in the Middle Colonies and the Pennsylvania Dutch Colony included, the Amish, Quakers, Lutheran, Brethren, and the Mennonite. Transportation played a factor in the growing economy by the mid-18th century. Trading centers in Boston, New York, and Charleston were created as a more efficient source of transportation for goods by water. Nevertheless, roads and bridges were more common in the 18th century. Although the maintenance of roads and bridges was difficult, this transportation system served for travelers to use taverns which provided food and lodging and served as a social center for many colonists and merchants.…

During 1700s America, most colonists lived in rural farming villages on their own property. In the North, there was a focus on family farms whereas in the south, there were many large plantations with less of a focus on the family aspect and a much heavier use of slavery. The middle colonies, like Virginia for example, were sort of a middle ground where these two traditions mixed and new ones were introduced. During this time period, it is fascinating to contrast these regions. Without carefully examining similarities, like the way they are run governmentally, and the differences, like geography, it would be nearly impossible to understand the lives that these colonists led.…
People learned to use the sources within their regions to earn money. Because of the different geographical locations, the three colonial regions had their differences, but they did share some similarities attracting people who wanted to have a better life.

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…
