If we had a satellite snapshot of the two regions around 1700, it would clearly show that the New England and Chesapeake colonies were very different kinds of places, with very different ways of life and very different societies. This is so in spite of the fact that they began within a few years of each other and were founded and developed by people of the same nationality.

Explain three major ways in which these regions differed from each other in about 1700. You can think in terms of economies, arrangement of classes and other social patterns within each society, social and cultural ideals, relations with surrounding Native American and European societies, and other points of difference you may see. Briefly address why those differences arose-what kinds of factors help us understand better what brought them about?
