Unity was encouraged among New Englanders, which helped develop close societies. These close societies often built a bond of trust within the community, knowing that neighbors would come together during times of danger. All of this showed that these people had a distinct purpose for coming to the new world. They wanted to create a model society, a self-proclaimed “city upon a hill” (A). The Puritans who inhabited this region were very strict, and were always striving to make the perfect city.
As well as religious control, for most colonies church membership was required in order to vote. Puritans socially influenced the early colonies the most out of any of the 3 categories. Puritan religion not only had strict ideals, but the people that followed those ideals took their religion and made it encompass their entire life. There was a much wider age range in families due to families immigrating in groups from England. Families were also larger and healthier.
A.P.U.S.H History FRQ 1 The Massachusetts Bay colony and the Virginia colony developed into drastically different colonies. Although one may observe similarities into the two colonies progression, ideals, or trends, such as hope and opportunity for success in the new world, in many ways the advancement differed. Economically, the two colonies differed greatly on the types of reliable and profitable income sources. As a result, the two different colonies attracted different types of people with contrasting values and skill-sets. Socially, the two colonies were molded by different religions and beliefs.
In the 17th century, the English established colonies in the new world and created two distinct regions. New 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.
The New England and the Chesapeake Bay regions had many comparisons of which consisted of the same motivations, rights, and religious life. Both colonies were founded by England, resulting in the same population of people who were mostly settling in the Americas to establish a new life. By working hard and tediously, both colonies managed to survive through the toughest of times in the winter. The colonists developed a greater faith in God and sharing the land with the people around them, creating a systematic way of life (Source D). Along with colonist’s migration to America, the Magna Carta followed along to all colonies in the new world.
A Web of Chesapeake and New England Colonies John Park Mr. Dowling AP US History (DBQ) 9/11/14 In the early 17th century, there were several factors in England that drove them to colonize the Eastern part of North America. First, the Puritans (English settlers) immigrated to separate themselves from the oppressive Anglican Church. On the other hand, other English immigrants came to the Chesapeake mostly to gain wealth for themselves. Although New England and Chesapeake region were both colonized predominantly by English people, by the early 18th century, two distinct societies emerged, which differed on social, political and economic systems. Social differences were evident in the New England and Chesapeake regions.
Topic: Pull and Pull Factors Identify and discuss the “push and pull” factors which accounted for the colonization and settlement of the 13 North American colonies. Introduction Myths about American history began with the colonial period. The so-called “push-pull effect,” which would evaluate the colonial process both by what attracted immigrants to America and by the conditions in Europe that “pushed” them to leave their homeland. The settlement of America was neither easy nor simple—the forces that brought colonists from Europe were complex, as were the many changes that being in a new, alien environment engendered in the colonists. They came for a variety of reasons, but all wanted a better life.
While many disregard this system as cruel and unfair, in reality it helped to shape America as it is today. Without the help of this system, economies would not be as developed as they are now. Unfree labor played a very important role in shaping the economy and society of colonial American through the use of indentured servants and slavery. The system of temporary servitude in the New World was established out of practices used in New England. In short, indentured servants were mainly poor British people without jobs.
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 shaped the development of the colonial society from the 1600’s to the 1700’s. The New England and Chesapeake people left Europe for different reasons. New England had initially created their society swiftly and it was easier for them compared to the Chesapeake region. This is because their religion and what they believed brought them together as a team or community so they could meet their goals, and both are successful in the end. They both had differences and reasons for leaving Europe, religion and beliefs.
