Southern and New England Colonies

The New England and Southern colonies in the New World differ in how they were founded and developed. The New England colonies were originally created by religious groups such as Puritans that wanted to get away from the impure Church of England, yet the terrain on which the colonies were built decided whether they should stay for the purpose of religion or change to the purpose of economic profit.
The terrain in the North of the colonies was rugged and not airable land, so the dominant aspect of life was culture and beliefs. Such characteristics were reflected in the letters that John Winthrop wrote to his wife concerning the religious community he lived in that was suffering for the sake of God, and the one Roger Williams wrote concerning religious freedom.
The importation of thousands of slaves and the exportation of millions of pounds of tobacco and sugar cane demonstrate that Southern colonies were developed through economic income. Illustrations and writings describing the middle passage in which slaves were shipped from Africa to plantations in Southern colonies are yet another example.
Thousands of refugees being persecuted for religious reasons and other such causes fled to Holland and the New World. Overwhelming evidence exhibits the fact that the reason New England and Southern colonies separated in terms of economy and culture was the type of land they were founded on.
