1) The hilly land scape prevented farms from getting very big, preventing large plantations from every developing and because of such they had no need for slaves.
2) The stony terrain and the land re freezing, as stated in 1 also cause slavery to never be an issue. Also it helped discourage new immigrants from coming, who weren't so pious in separating from the Church of England. Since no newcomer wants to "start from scratch" without a decent plot of land to work with.
3) The cascading waterfalls and strong currents of the rivers promoted the growth of industries, since this allowed them to use develop water-will powered mills.
4) Finally, the fact that the colony was hundreds of miles away from England, separated by sea, caused the colonists to develop a strong sense of independence and thus leading them to revolt against England.
I hope that answered your question, I tried to be as broad as possible since I wasn't sure of the direction the question was aimed towards.

As I know what is New Hampshire or where no other idea came in my mind. However I am given information as to what exactly New Hampshire is - New Hampshire, one of the New England states of the NE United States. It is bordered by Massachusetts (S), Vermont, with the Connecticut R. forming the boundary (W), the Canadian province of Quebec (NW), and Maine and a short strip of the Atlantic Ocean (E).

geography affected the colony because they were not used to the cold harsh winter that was brought upon them and they had difficulty growing crops and surviving in such a cold climate. the winter was long and tough

one example: just after the french-indian war, england did some stuff MA didnt like, so eng sent troops
the english locked off the MA bay neck and the bay
think of MA as the dangley thingy in your mouth, the space around is the bay, and the connection to the roof of your mouth is the bay neck...shutting those down, the english tried to starve the MA colonists into submission
hope that helps =D
