The Chesapeake Bay And The Bay

* How did this make the development of colonies along the Chesapeake different from the evolution of those in New England?

In the 1700's, the Chesapeake and the New England area would bond to become one territory. It was from the very starting, both had very distinct and unique persona. These dissimilarities spurred from one foremost factor: the very reason the settlers came to the New World. This influenced the colonies in literally every way, including economically, communally, and politically. The Chesapeake district of the colonies encompassed Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia. In 1607, Jamestown, the primary English colony within the New World to thrive and prosper, was founded by an assembly of 104 settlers to a peninsula along the James stream. These settlers wanted to find gold, silver, a northwest passage to Asia, a therapy for syphilis, or

The Chesapeake was shaped economically by tobacco, Bacons rebellion, by John Smith. The tobacco dominated in this particular region since 1618 it was very profitable and people grew it best on leveled grounds with 80% of Chesapeake homes laying ½ of a riverbank and most 600 feet of the shoreline, bottom line is tobacco was their destiny it was their money for food and other essentials. This shaped Chesapeake since it made up pretty much its entire economy so when tobacco falls, the world falls for them. The Bacon's Rebellion was a popular revolt in colonial Virginia in 1676, led by Nathaniel Bacon because of high taxes, low prices for tobacco, Sir William Berkeley the governor, provided the background for the uprising, which was precipitated by Berkeley's failure to defend the frontier against attacks by Native Americans. This shaped the region since we gained land, furs, and harvest. John smith was young, 28, but had experience fighting Turks and Spanish, and had enough experience to assume control in Virginia, he organized work bands, and ensured sufficient food and shelter for winter; he also became the colony's best Indian negotiator, and when he was captured by Indians in late 1607, he showed bravery and courage, and the chief's daughter, Pocahontas saved Smith's life. This shaped Chesapeake since he provided help for the colony and when he left for England the colonies went on a

While both the people of the New England region and of the Chesapeake region descended from the same English origin, by 1700 both regions had traveled in two diverse directions. Since both of these groups were beset with issues that were unique to their regions and due to their exposure to different circumstances, each was forced to rethink and reconstruct their societies. As a result, the differences in the motivation, geography, and government in the New England and Chesapeake regions caused great divergence in the development of each.

New and the Chesapeake’s both had significant and similar purpose to escape from Europe and make states that can allow their own freedom. However, in time both regions began to change and in most ways different in many divisions. Many of these changes or differences such as purpose for freedom, the climate and the environment, and political and economic structures through the changes. Each of these changed the regions own perspective and back ground thus making these regions very different in was unimaginable.

In the Chesapeake they had the plantations that caused people to be separated from others. These plantations as were home to many indentured servants and slaves. As shown in document 3, the majority of the people coming to Virginia from England were young men and women. The death rate was also high in the Chesapeake leaving many young brides widowed. These widows would be in charge of their late husbands properties, which gave women an opportunity to some equalities that women in New England did not have.

Colonists came primarily to the Chesapeake region to increase their wealth. The vast variety of immigrants to the Chesapeake region was young men seeking economic opportunity (Doc C). The differences in the New England and Chesapeake’s primary motivations for settlement led to the divergent societies.

The Chesapeake Bay and New England colonies were two of the first regions English settlers colonized upon arrival to America. In analyzing both regions, it is easy to see that the social, economic, and political implications had a lot to do with the overall development of each respective colony. Socially, the New England colony was made of families that sought to escape the persecution that Puritans faced in England, while the colony in the Chesapeake Bay was established by only men who expected to find bullion, like the Spanish did in Latin America. Economically, the New England colony was more diversified with income coming from fishing, lumber, fur trade, and numerous other jobs, unlike the Chesapeake Bay which saw almost all of its income

In the 1700s, the New England and Chesapeake regions were settled mostly by people from similar English origin; however, by the 18th century, both developed into two distinct societies. This was due to the different reasons for founding, different societal ideas and expectations, and the vastly different economies that were set up because of the climate.

The differences in the two regions are not only seen in their religion, but can also be found in their economies. The Chesapeake Bay, on the other hand, had a good economy. The population of Chesapeake Bay outnumbered New England's population nearly three to one. Their economy was based on the tobacco and slave trading industries. Colonists living in the Chesapeake Bay region led harsh lives, while settlers of the New England area had more favorable conditions. They did indeed suffer from several diseases, leading them to live a short life.

The Chesapeake Bay and the New England colonies displayed many differences. The major differences became very clear as the settlements continued

To begin, the Chesapeake region consisted of two colonies: Virginia and Maryland. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh went on an exploratory voyage with several men to Roanoke Island. Landing was only temporary because they needed decided the island was fertile to support a settlement. A couple of years later, John White came over with 117 men, women, and children to settle in Roanoke Island. John White

Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. The reasons for this distinct development were mostly based on the type on people from England who chose to settle in the two areas, and on the manner in which the areas were settled.

The difference in development between New England and the Chesapeake Bay region was a matter of several issues ranging from freedom of religion, economy, the system of governing and most importantly, unity. What made these two societies differ was the effort
