New England has harsh winters compared to the Chesapeake Bay area. While both Boston and Norfolk have deep natural harbors, the James River offered a much better spot to raid the Spanish gold ships.
The New England settlers were seeking religious freedom, and were more estranged from the English Homeland than were the Virginians exporting their produce to England.

The economic advantages of New England relied mainly on trade. The Chesapeake area also was influential in this, but focused more on cash crops. Also, the northern part of Mass. was founded by Puritans, while Maryland was originally developed to be a refuge for Roman Catholics.

The colonial era covers over one hundred and seventy years. are you able to narrow it down? P.S. i will take a stab at it with this. i'm now uncertain that the contract dates had that plenty to do with it. Jamestown was settled in 1607, the Mayflower landed in 1602 and the passable Migration got here approximately from 1630-1650. The Chesapeake and Southern colonies have been many times designed around industry and enriching the crown. They have been before everything observing for gold (which wasn't there), in spite of the undeniable fact that made money from tobacco. the variety new England colonies are settled with the aid of families (as against many times adult males in the South) finding for religious freedom, establishing with the Puritans in 1630. And please do no longer confuse the Mayflower Pilgrims with the Puritans...an same, yet 2 concentrated agencies. the remarkable Migration slowed appreciably, in spite of if, because of the reality that of issues in England, rather the Civil conflict (1642-1651).

New England focused more on family life and religion. They stressed the importance of working together for the community. Chesapeake Bay focused more on money and power. There was little unity.
