DBQ In 1700s there were two distinct societies in the new world, the Chesapeake and New England. The Chesapeake colonies made most of their money from the cash crop tobacco, but when it came to political and religious matters Virginia (a Chesapeake colony) differed greatly from New England colonies. The English church was the same as the one in England, which meant taxpayers paid for the support of the church even if they were not Anglicans. This mattered little to church members since
societies, especially the New England and Chesapeake regions. Socially, families and individuals from the colonies were different in number, beliefs, and social mobility. The economies of the colonies differed in their foundations and various industries. Concerning politics, each region had a their own form of self-government and extent of political authority. Although the New England and Chesapeake regions were settled by people of English origin, by 1700 the colonies developed to be uniquely diverse
original colonies. Some hazard the harrowing trip across the Atlantic sea with the hopes of escaping religious persecution and freedom of worship a part from the established Church of England. Others made the turbulent trip across the sea seeking fortunes and attainment of a better economic situation and status denied them in England. Two colonies that were established were Massachusetts and Virginia. An exploration shows some commonality but also major differences between these colonies. One particular
- 8 AP United States History 5 September 2014 DBQ Between 1607 and 1700, New England and the Chesapeake created their colonies very differently economically because of their geographic circumstances, politically because of how they set up their government, and socially because of how they set up their social ladders. New England and the Chesapeake developed very different economies due to the very different geographic circumstances. New England had a shorter growing season because of poor soil,
successful colonies of North and South came with many hardships. Before the initial permanent colony, settlers faced horrifying agony trying to establish colonies. Developing a flourishing colony was not easy. Settlers faced tragedies such as starvation, bitter weather, and diseases. When colonization in America took off, the Northern and Southern colonies were the first to be built. The first successful Southern colony was Jamestown, Virginia. While, the first successful Northern colony was Plymouth
Spanish VS English Colonization The two primary countries colonizing the New World before 1763 were Spain and England. The two powers had different reasons and goals for settling in the Americas, as well as varying regions. The Spaniards were originally searching for a new and direct sea route to Asian nations for easier and more accessible trade. The English were originally colonizing for economic profit and religious freedom while escaping religious persecution. With time however, both nation's
The American continent was a new place where each country could place a seed in it and develop it in their own unique way. Two great empires in the 17th century, Spain and England, both jumped on this opportunity settling two different areas two different ways, with some comparable methods. The Spanish settlements in the southwest and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in New England in the 17th century differed from one another in the way they interacted with Native Americans, and the reason for the settlement
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE OF COLONIAL SOCIETIES BETWEEN 1600-1650 AND 1700-1750 In the 17th century (1600-1650), European countries: France, England, and Netherlands did create colonies in America. The period was known as the period of ignorance and inhumanity. The first permanent colony to be created by the English was in 1607 in Jamestown by Virginia Company. The colonists were under the leadership of John Smith. The colonists faced rebellion from the natives as they had come to settle on their land
traveling to the new world was dangerous, they still did it. Over the period of exploration, a few people died on their journey to the new world. On the several failed and successful colonies, many English people died fighting for colonization. Why? In this paper, I will explore the reasons for British colonization in the New World. I will examine the Popham and Roanoke colonies in depth and I will describe the reasons for their failure. Ultimately, I will address the differences between Jamestown the
attempted to settle in the New World were the Netherlands, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, France and Britain. With each country focusing its efforts on certain objections, some countries were more successful than others. The three most successful was Spain, France and Britain, with the race to be the most powerful country on the planet; these countries put lots of money, resources and time on settling the New World. The Netherlands gained a colony in North America and named it New Netherlands that was established
