England rapidly colonized the newly found Americas. In particular citizens were sent out to the eastern coast of North America in two regions In the Chesapeake region, Englishmen came to Jamestown to make money, find gold, and obtain land. However, in New England, Puritans came to America mostly for religious purposes. Although the New England and Chesapeake regions were originally colonized by mainly English settlers, the two regions in time evolved into two distinct societies. By 1700, their religious
Ever since Jamestown was found in 1607 in the New World, settlers started to immigrate to the early colonies of Chesapeake and New England. By 1700, these settlements slowly formed into two different societies. This development and difference occurred due to several reasons. Socially, the class ranks were different among the two regions; the shortage of women in the colony was also a problem. Economically, the trading and the crops played a big role in the differences as well. Religion varied in
reason to search and establish a new way of life, instead they wished to fortify and make their lives better for materialistic reasons as opposed to religion. From the beginning New England and Chesapeake settlers started off creating their colonies disparately. (Document C) Since settlers came to the Chesapeake with the intention of not staying for long, they traveled alone, not with families. At a six to one ration of mostly men, they left England to seek profit from gold. (Document C) Therefore, men
differences in the Chesapeake and New England regions, it was the geography surrounding them in 1607-1700 that played the biggest role in developing these regions into two distinct societies. The people in the Chesapeake and New England regions back in the 17th century could be very similar at first glance, but they were, in fact, a small part in developing the two distinct regions. New England was a safe-haven for religious separatists fleeing England. While in the Chesapeake, there were no religious
England included colonies such as Connecticut and Massachusetts, while the Chesapeake encompassed Maryland and Virginia. Though both regions had English roots, they grew to become two very different settlements with unique features. The differing social patterns, religion, and motivations of New England and Chesapeake colonies created two immensely distinct settlements. Social patterns differed between New England and the Chesapeake, contributing to the disparities between the two areas. First of all
Chesapeake Bay and New England DBQ Many say that geography determines the development of a people group, but the colonial American development saw many other factors that determined its outcome in history. By 1700, the Chesapeake Bay and New England region had developed differently because of religious (Strict Puritan beliefs enforced on town communities in New England), economic (Chesapeake Bay based life off of the cultivation of tobacco), and social (Barbados Slave Codes) fundamentals
While the New England colonies and the Chesapeake colonies were both settled by Englishmen the purposes and results of the settlements greatly varied. Differences between these colonies were mainly caused by the people who settled the regions and where they settled, and as their colonies progressed they grew to be very different despite the fact they shared a common English origin. The people who settled the two colonies were very different from each other and their purposes for settling the areas
New England vs. Chesapeake DBQ The creations and works of every human being are all based off of intent. Granted, there are many other factors that go into a piece of work, but the intended product (the vision), has the strongest impact, as it is the guide for every action in pursuit of that vision. The group of people coming to settle the New England colonies came in hopes of spreading the word of God and providing a positive and successful example of community in the New World. Many of these
1993 DBQ After England established claims to the American lands, the vast tracts of land attracted immigration for various reasons during the 17th century. The significant settlements developed in the New England region in the north and the Chesapeake region towards the south. New England was primarily developed by the Puritans, who immigrated during the Great (Puritan) Migration between 1630s and 1640s to escape the religious persecution in Anglican England. Puritans led their lives based on
Northern, Middle, and Southern colonies. The two main colonies were the New England (in the North) and Chesapeake (in the South) colonies. The early New England and Chesapeake colonies of the 1600s were two distinctly different societies. They had different religious views, governments, and economies. Intro is too short. More background information on the time period is needed. While the Chesapeake was mainly based on land and slave ownership, the New England colonies were based on religion. They
