Compare And Contrast English Settlers And American Settlers
Spanish priests began to set up missions along the western coasts to encourage the Native Americans to adopt Christianity. English settlers, on the other hand, had planned from the very start of their expedition to stay in the New world. As England was facing overpopulation, famine, and a lack of jobs, many English immigrated to America with no other option. Southern states became rich in the cash crop business. Cotton, sugar, and tobacco grew easily in the southern states making any landowner an almost instant success. The northern states were not as lucky with the weather as such profitable crops were not as easily grown there but they were able to farm just for themselves, but found much needed work as traders, wage workers, and fishers.
