With two main different reasons for New World expansion, the north and south colonies were spilt between religious colonies, the northern colonies and economical colonies, the southern colonies. They were founded by different people in search of different things, the northern colonists were looking for religious freedom, while the southern colonists were in search of a quick profit, usually in the tobacco industry. In the north people were looking for a second chance to follow their religion, bringing people of the same religion together from all over Europe together in attempt to form a sort of haven, or religious utopia. While the southern colonists came from different backrounds all in search of the same thing, money and still their freedoms.
