New England-Chesapeake Region Differentiation
Despite being settled and originally colonized by mainly English settlers, the New England colonies and the Chesapeake region were distinctly different by the beginning of the eighteenth century. A series of events leading up to the beginning of the seventeenth century can account for the vast differences between these two colonial regions. The Chesapeake region, which was situated in the modern day Virginia area, had drastically different climactic circumstances, one’s that were more life threatening than the climate of the New England colonies.
