New England and Chesapeake Region (DBQ)

            The New England and Chesapeake region had evolved into two different societies because the world was changing and a lot of people didn't like the change that was taking place so they left. .
             For example, the Church of England was said to be corrupted. That is one of the main reasons for the separatists. They didn't like the rules and regulations of the church and wanted to leave. Many people believed that as a reward for faith god would give the person salvation. This is not what the Church of England thought. Martian Luther contended that the bible recognized only two sacraments, baptism and communism not the seven authorized by the Catholic Church. Other reasons for leaving England was to gain wealth. The way one could do this was to participate in the fur trade, gold mining and even farming and fishing. Although there were separatists there was also puritans as well. The puritans were there to spread the Church of England and to build colonies for the king. There were many people that stayed loyal to the king even when the king was over three thousand miles away. .
             John Winthrop was the puritan leader in 1680. He wanted everyone to live in peace and have everyone work as one. If this happened then everyone would look upon them as leaders and the right example to follow. Winthrop talks about a city on the hill; this is what he wants to build. Maybe not literally but he meant it by setting an example. This could work as a good example and as a bad example. If the people were mean to each other and did not help each other then the other colonists would see that and think that they were bad people and would look down upon them. .
             Usually when the colonists came across the Atlantic they were with their families. Many of the families were very large compared with the families of modern societies families. Many of the families had several servants to help them with their work. This is one of the main reasons that early colonists did no work and starved in the harsh winters.
