Plymouth Colony

many similarities but also many differences. The two colonies have similar problems when trying to develop their towns but had different reasons for why they started them to begin with. while both had different driving forces, they both ultimately wanted the same thing, to form a successful new town. Though out the next paragraphs I will discuss these differences and similarities, as well as why I think Massachusetts was the more successful colony. I want to start with Virginia because well,…

available in the colonies was uncommon in Great Britain and other areas of Europe, which led to adaptation problems with many of the people. The colonists did not have the equipment that people in Europe did, which led to new techniques and unique utensils.

The first colonial jail was influenced by England's correctional system. The next colonial jail was built in Boston, Massachusetts in the year 1635. These early colonial jails were not common because to the colonists it made more sense to have the person working rather than keeping an able body in a shack and having to pay for food and shelter.
