Both the New England and Chesapeake region were both settled largely by immigrants of English descent but evolved into two very explicit societies by the 1700s. A large distinction developed in the two contrasting regions, some of the benefits would lure settlers in and some negatives and cons would repel them into the other colonies. Through differences in political, economic, religious, social, intellectual, and artistic concepts of the colonists, a divergence separated the Chesapeake region from the New England settlements.…
After the Protestant Reformation the New World was being quickly being uncovered. England was quick to claim its land. Two groups in particular were important to the jumpstart of America. These areas were Chesapeake Bay and New England. These two regions began with the same English origin, but by the 1700’s they were divided into two completely different societies; New England, being the more successful Colony. The split in the new world was because of the social, economic and religious differences between New England and Chesapeake Bay.…
Although during the 17th century the British colonies still recognized themselves as European or English, they managed to develop unique characteristics through the expansion of colonies, and the escalation of population. Through this expansion, new information, customs, and new ways of life were learned and practiced daily, and with these changes came the separation of the two societies.…
Europe, once so independent of the world, gradually became entrenched in the world around them. The European countries began to fight for a foothold in the colonies. Slowly, England rose to compete in this struggle for colonies, settling North America. Although New England and the Chesapeake regions were both settled by Englishmen, these two colonies evolved into completely different colonies as a result of their many differences of opinion starting with their reasons for settling the land, spreading to create two completely different societies.…
From their very genesis, the New England and Chesapeake Colonies displayed stark differences and contrasts. The former was founded mostly for religious reasons and the latter for purely economic ones. Though both regions were in relatively close proximity, comparably, they greatly differed religiously, politically, socially, and morally (in so far as their perception/exploitation of Native Americans was concerned). The exploration of these different colonies will prove to be particularly fruitful due to the fact that we can understand how their early influences shaped the modern day east coast.…
The New England and the Chesapeake Colonies were two very distinct colonies. The colonist came to the Americas in order to escape religious toleration and economic prosperity. As time passed the colonist were changed by their different surroundings. Although the New England and Chesapeake colonies both had English immigrants, they differentiated due to economic, social, and religious causes. In contrast the colonies were very different societies.…
Although New England And The Chesapeake Region Were Both Settled Largely By People Of English Origin, By 1700 The Regions Had Evolved Into Two Distinct Societies. Why Did This Difference In Development Occur?…
During the 1700s, the regions of New England and the Chesapeake experienced dramatic changes and stimulated development due to the increase in immigration from Europe to this new world of the Americas. The immigrants that came to the New England colony differed in terms of reasons for coming and differences in ways of establishing a foundation for the society verses the Chesapeake colony. The differentiating motives, interactions between the natives, and the formation of the structure of society created the differences in development between these two distinct societies.…
Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. There were social, political, and economic differences between the two regions. The main reason as to why this development occurred was that the Chesapeake concentrated on obtaining wealth whereas New England had strong religious beliefs.…
The Chesapeake Region and New England both started as English colonies, but by the 1700’s they had already become two completely different societies. The so-called “Chesapeake Region” was born with the foundation of Jamestown in 1607, the first English colony in the New World. In the area of New England, it all started when the colony of Plymouth was founded in 1630. New England also included colonies that were founded in the following years like the Massachusetts Bay Colony (MBC), Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Connecticut. The Chesapeake Region and New England grew into two distinct societies by the 1700’s…
This essay will be analyzing and comparing & contrasting the colonies of Chesapeake and New England. This paper’s main concern is how these colonies are so dramatically different and what aspects of the colonies make them so. This paper will argue considerable differences in settling and motives to settle had a dramatic effect on the initial success of the colonies. Chesapeake had a tremendous death rate of 65-percent of their original one-hundred-and-four settlers. This contrast greatly with the initial settling of New England and Plymouth as there were few Indian populations and they were in a far healthier landscape. This paper will continue to discuss the role different governments…
By the 1700s the English came to the New World and settled in The Chesapeake and New England regions. The lives of the people settled in these regions were centered on two dissimilar lifestyles. Distinctive differences between these regions were in expectations, beliefs, and social cultures. The differences created a clear cut between North and South. The wide gap between the development of The Chesapeake and New England regions was mainly because of the way their lives were centered. The Chesapeakes were geared around monetary profits and striking it rich, while New Englands focal point was about family and religious freedom.…
The New England colonies came to North America due to the persecution in England, therefore these separatists desired a “New” England away from the Anglican Church. The Chesapeake colonies were founded for economic reasons. Many settlers looked for gold and a place to produce tobacco. These colonies became a region of many indentured servants and competition. According to the Maryland Gazette, "In 1767 the Maryland Assembly passed a law designed to limit the effects of diseased convicts being imported into the colony." To pass a law to limit the imports of slaves shows the importance of slaves in their society. Due to the farming based society, the colonies was surrounded by fertile land. While New England colonies faced harsh winters with rocky soil. New England colonies were democratic and more industrial while Chesapeake were aristocratic. New England colonies stressed education of the Bible, but education was not significant to those near the Chesapeake Bay. Those in the Chesapeake Bay relied on plantations and their…
Although the settlers of the New England and Chesapeake region were both settled by people of English origin, by the 1700s, they had transformed into very different societies. This was because of a number of reasons. Between the settlers, the New Englanders moved for religious purposes, while Chesapeakes moved for want for material wealth.The people of New England also consisted of more families than the predominantly young male population of the Chesapeake. Their governing styles were also different, New England being more about fairness and equity while their southern neighbors were more concerned with gaining material wealth and not about helping the poorer of their communities.…
The New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by English colonists. Most colonists moving from Great Britain to New England were families searching for religious salvation, rather than mostly the single men that traveled to the Chesapeake area in search of wealth. The immigrants of the Chesapeake area were greeted with a climate and soil that were perfect for cultivating tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. Those settling in New England could not rely on farming to support themselves because of the rocky soil in the north. While the majority of the Chesapeake colonists were not as cohesive due to the great distance from farms to these towns, New England had close-knit church events, meetings, and schools. Although, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by people at English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies because of motives, environment, and towns/communities.…
