They had trouble with plantations due to the fact that they had rocky soil and the harsh winters. Unlike the New England settlers, the Chesapeake had a different idea of how they would live geographically. The Chesapeake had fertile soil, so that’s how they based their regions. Unlike the other settlers, the Chesapeake was spread out and contained plantations, which had large distances from other people in the region (Doc G). They were able to grow crops such as tobacco, rice, and sugar due their plantations and living quite a distance from other people in the region.
This poor soil attracted very few immigrants. Summers were hot, and winters were bitterly cold. Forests were cleared to grow staple crops such as corn, squash, and barley, however, livestock had to be brought to supplement the New England diet. The fish, fur, shipbuilding and lumber industries thrived in New England colonies. Creative ways to solve problems because of this region’s barren soil keyed the term “Yankee Ingenuity.” The Triangular Trade is an example of this.
Being in a foraging society had some advantages and disadvantages and being in an urbanized society also had some advantages and disadvantages. In a foraging society they heavily relied on weather since they had to find there own food and that was a bad disadvantage. If there was good weather then they could go out and search for food but if there was bad weather then it would be extremely difficult to search for and get food and in the Paleolithic age, they needed all the food they could get in order to survive. In an urbanized society, they relied on weather too but they often would have surplus so they did not rely on it as much. In a foraging society, they had to hunt and gather their own food which was a big disadvantage because that means they had to constantly be moving around because one area could not keep a society alive for a whole lifetime.
OI: Because of the prosperous soil in the Chesapeake colonies, the economy was agriculturally based. For example, the economy of this region lacked stability because tobacco often exceeded demand. Their economy was strictly dependent on crops. Religion was secondary in the Chesapeake region because most people came to the Chesapeake to farm rather than to escape religious conflicts. Although different in most ways, the colonies both shared a feeling of superiority over the Natives.
The settlers had a hard time making life there due to long winters and rocky soil making the land poor for farming. Native Americans had helped the colonists of New England survive by assisting them with the techniques to survive. Furthermore, the growing seasons in New England were shorter compared to the ones in Chesapeake. Not only were New England’s colonies struggling with poor land but they couldn’t even make good use of fishing or collecting furs, making it a struggle to start a life there. Chesapeake however was established more for economical reasons.
Both the New England colonies and the Spanish Southwestern settlements in America offered a chance at a new life in what was literally thought of as as a different world. Although both settlements were created because of opportunity, both had substantial factors that differentiated the two. The Spanish settlements in the Southwest and the English settlements in the Northeast colonies of New England differed economically, politically and religiously as the Spanish sought to establish influence and the English sought to establish long-term settlements affecting the outlook in both regions. One of their primary differences was their economies. The greatest economical difference between the Spanish settlements and the English settlements was that the English focused on sustaining an agrarian style of cultivate land.
These beliefs led to a system where land was often degraded at a swift rate because people believed that they could always find more land to settle and exploit. Although Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton held differing views of what they believed the economic system of the United States should be, both agreed that further expansion of the lands owned by the United States would be carried out in the name of
Both colonial Virginia and Massachusetts were established by England at around the same period of time. However, these two regions had developed into distinctly different societies. The main reason for this divergence is difference in economy and religion between Virginia and Massachusetts. Economic motives prompted colonization in Virginia. This led to plantation-based economy in Virginia.
European horses, cattle, and pigs also affected Amerindian lives, while beaver and other fur-bearing animals influenced the exchange between Europeans and Amerindians. 2. The Catholic Church played a significant role in assimilating Amerindian peoples as well as the suppression of Amerindian traditional religious practice. Religion was an important force in the English
Without that help the colonist might have never survived because it was something they were not used to having to do, or even something they really even knew how to do. It was completely different from the way England would give them most of their food and supplies, or simply allow them to but their food. Though through the hard work colonist also could get money from the crops they grew on their farms. They could sell any leftover food
