1. The English colonies areseparated into three groups known as the South, Middle, and New Englandregions. Some of the colonies share similar characteristics, while others havesignificant differences.

South

Virginia was the first colony founded in 1607 by John smith andother colonist. The colony was named after Queen Elizabeth “the Virgin Queen”.Virginia faced many struggles due to health concern, battles with natives, andshortage of food. In order to survive iron, planting tobacco, sowing cornbecame a source of income.

Maryland was created in 1634 and named by in honor of HenriettaMaria. This colony also worked in the tobacco fields to gain profits. Marylandis also known for adopting slavery which lawfully classified Africans asproperty and not people.

The Carolinas (North and South Carolina) was founded by VirginiaColonists known as the Lord of Proprietors. Both are identified as restorationcolonies. The northern part of the Carolina immigrants converted sap from pinetrees to turpentine that was utilized to protect ships. Slavery was dominantwith blacks in the Southern part of the Carolinas.

Georgia established in 1732 by a member of Parliament, JamesOglethorpe. The Parliament sponsored hundreds of settlers which named Georgiathe only government supported colonial project. In Georgia large quantities ofrice was gathered by slaves.

Middle

New York and New Jersey were also restoration colonies added byCharles II. New York encompassed a variety of different people and religionsincluding French Protestants and Jews. In addition, slave conflict was veryhigh in New York.

Pennsylvania was invested in 1681 by William Penn as compensationto settle a land debt with Charles II. It is also a restoration colony thatbecame the focus of British America. Quakers congregated to Pennsylvania topresent their religious beliefs without conflict.

Delaware was named after the Delaware River. Accepted the Quakersreligious Christian society. Participated in fur trading.

New England

Massachusetts was governed by John Winthrop allowed settlers tohonor their own religion without harassment. This colony was first known as anEnglish colony until the war against Great Britain.

Rhode Island was originated in the 1630 by Roger Williams whodeported from the Massachusetts colony because of religious acceptance fornonbelievers was not supported. This colony refused to allow religiousdiversity.

Connecticut was New Hampshire colonies were founded by Puritanswho did not support other religions.

If I was a colonist the middle region would be more appealingbecause of the valuable natural resources for food and the versatile religiousindependence.

2. Good morning everyone.

This subject about the English colonies is very interestingto me

The English were Largely non-Catholics. Although sometolerance was practiced in most colonies, the Puritans in Massachusettsestablished an autocratic and restrictive religious leadership. Pennsylvaniamandated complete tolerance.

South Region – VA, Colony full of peoplesearching for gold, John Smith (A leader of England’s first settlement calledJamestown) instituted a policy “No work, no food”,

Farming tobacco, the economic success came, which causedproblems with the Native’s that lived there.

The Governor of VA refused to help the frontier colonists,due to make lost of money off the fur trade with the natives.

Catholicism was not popular during this time in England,Anglican was the major religion. Lord Baltimore of Maryland established acolony to provide religious freedom for catholics.

NC and SC in 1729 became separate colonies.

Middle- New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey , New York, was named after theDuke of York , The English granted large estates to a few favored families.Admiral William Penn (PA named after him, Charles II owed the Penn family alarge debt) helped take Jamaica from the Spanish in 1655.

New England – Connecticut, Massachusetts, NewHampshire Massachusetts, pilgrims came to the New World, they wanted to fleereligious persecution, they came from the ship called the mayflower, thenatives taught them how to use the resources of the land. The were separatistsfrom the Anglican church. Had a lower social status

The puritans wanted to create a pure form of the Anglicanchurch, had a higher social status.

If I were a colonist, I would have to say the colony thatseems most interesting to me would be Pennsylvania, they seemed like they hadmore religious freedom, I think that's the reason the Quakers moved there.
