The proximity to all of this water affects the environment of the peninsula, causing it to have a very moderate climate. Colonists cleared land for agriculture and use hook and line to catch fish in the Bay's shallow waters. The region's fertile soil, plentiful supplies of fresh water, and situation on the Bay made this an ideal location for
If they did not, God would turn from them and they would have an example made of them. Religion was to also be kept in mind during the setting of wages and price regulations (doc. E). Religion was important in the Chesapeake, as well, but not as important as it was in the New England colonies. While New England was Puritan, the Chesapeake colonies were primarily Anglican.

One in which the interdependence of the cities and rural areas was marked. The plains of Mesopotamia are perfect for high food production. The economy was based on agriculture, mainly the cultivation of barley. Barley was used daily as payment and wages. Barley was also used to make beer.
Task 1: Geography and the Development/Diffusion of Human Societies Princess Dana Catacutan Part A The most significant geographic factor that contributed to the development of the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia were the two rivers that surrounds it. Tigris and Euphrates rivers served great source of food and used for irrigation of crops. It was an ideal place for early people to settle in Mesopotamia to utilize the life giving water of these two rivers. Also, the two rivers were used for transportation and trade. Irrigation from the two rivers made it possible for the early settlers to farm and had abundant crops for trade.
Puritan immigrants arrived in New England, during the 1600s, settling and establishing in areas like Massachusetts Bay. In contrast to the Chesapeake region’s settlers, the Puritan settlers did not only come for economic interests, but rather out of aspiration to create a more pure, Christian society based on moral living and emphasis on the family and community. The Puritans had a strong impact on the development of the New England region, based on their religious emphasis and support for a theocratic political structure.

In the political development of New England, the Puritans influenced the region by basing the political structure on a theocratic model that enforced firm moral obedience.
The people present in the region started to transition from their nomadic lifestyles to agricultural lifestyles because of the surety and safety the rivers gave in providing farmable land to produce ample food. As more and more people settled in the region, urbanization and surplus occurred. No longer was the society farming to solely support itself, but it was able to export and interact with surrounding societies. The rivers provided the necessary elements for abundant agricultural growth which in turn allowed for the society to grow beyond focusing on basic needs for survival and develop to create political structure and develop artistically.

In chapter 2: The Art of Mesopotamia and Egypt were in some ways very much alike. Mesopotamia and Egypt both had a great agriculture that helped them gain a little wealth. The Nile was a big part of the agriculture between the people. The most important waterways were the Indus and the Huang He in Asia, the Danube in Europe, and the Mississippi in North America. These rivers helped farmers with transportation, which then helped their agriculture grow.
Running head: “Btsisi’ Culture” The Kinship of the Btsisi’ Culture Natasha Heard Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Bethany Heywood July 17, 2012 The Btsisi kinship is a horticultural society from Malaysia. The lush environment provides an abundance of fertile soil for the Btsisi to cultivate and grow much of the food needed for their existence. The proximity to fertile soil and water allowed them to yield crops of grains and fruit, while remaining in close proximity to other resources to gather. Theirs is a mixed sustenance economy, which means they supplement their planted food products with products gathered and hunted. The Btsisi society is comprised of bands of nuclear families and extended families.
