New England and Southern Colonies

The primary difference from the Southern colonies and the New England colonies is the difference between the main focus of them. The New England colonies were constantly looking at the people's religions and analyzing them. Whether or not they were open to other religious beliefs, they were very focused on that subject matter. Although the Southern colonies had their minds sent mostly on the economy, which were plantations.
Massachusetts, one of the New England colonies, was very focused on religion, although to an exclusive extreme. Though some of the New England colonies were focused on religion, but we open to different views.
The Southern colonies, especially Virginia, were concentrated on agriculture and the economy. They held large plantations that included crops such as tobacco and rice. They depended upon their own agriculture and because they had populations based on land they did not need to regulate religion; although that was not the case in the New England colonies. Because they received much of their supplies from other places and were involved in trading routes. Therefore they did not need agriculture in order to gain people into those colonies. Instead they used religion as a means to reach out to people. In colonies, such as Massachusetts, they were very strict about religions and only Puritans were allowed, whereas places such as Rhode Island were willing to invite different people with different religious views.

Therefore, the Southern colonies were very attentive to agriculture and the economy while the New England colonies were focused on religion.
