Population: Primarily Pilgrims and Puritans from England
Strong religious beliefs: Church was mandatory. Blue Laws – Laws based on scripture were enforced.
Children that cursed their parents could be put to death.
Poor agriculture: The New England colonies had rocky soil which was poor for most crops. The
natives did teach the earlier settlers how to fertilize the land with remains of fish.
Self-Government: Due to landing in the wrong location, the Pilgrims had to decide who would rule
them. They decided on self-govnerment and wrote the Mayflower Compact as their charter. They
elected a governor.
Middle Colonies
Rich diversity. English, Sweedes, Dutch, German, Scot-irish, and French settled in these colonies.
Population: The middle colonies had the most variety of religious groups: Quakers, Mennonites,
Lutherans, Dutch Calvinists, and Presbyterians
Distribution Centers: Being between the other two groups of colonies let to heavy growth in
distribution centers such as New York and Philadelphia.
Land: Land in the middle colonies was fertile and easily qcquired in comparison to New England and
Southern colonies.
Southern Colonies:
Priority: Prosperity with cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo
Slavery: Slaves were a larger population in the south, due to the labor force needed to maintain all the
frams/plantations.
Life Expantancy: The southern colonies had the lowest life expantancy of the three groups. Yellow
Fever and malaris were two of the worse causes of death in the south.
Plantations: Plantations dominated the south. They created a clear division between rich and poor. The
rich had all the land and money, whereas the slaves and other poor members worked on the plantations.
Georgia: This colony was started as an experiment to move debtors to “new land” and give them a
second chance. It worked for a while, but then failed and became a royal colony.
Explain the effects of (a) triangular trade, (b) the Great Awakening, (c) Enlightenment thinking on the
development of the colonial governments in each region.
