The comparison of the New England and Chesapeake colonies The colonies of the new world represented different characteristics and some similar traits. From farming climates to religious beliefs, the characteristics differed a lot. A great example of these are the New England colonies and the Chesapeake colonies. The New England colonies, and the Chesapeake colonies had a lot of distinction like culture and predominantly the goals and intention of the founding fathers, despite the differences a common reason for the formation of the colonies was religious freedom. New England did not have a lot of religious freedom. Puritans in England decided to come to the new world and make a colony to get freedom from religious confinement. The people in England left because they did not agree with most of the aspects of the Church of England. The New England colony allowed them to worship peoples own beliefs.

In contrast with the Chesapeake, the New England colonies had a very low mortality rate, they colonists in New England were families, it was more stable to create a family in the New England colonies due to that fact that they had a more close to equal ratio of men to women, hence this resulted in a steady low mortality rate. Although the New England colonies and the Chesapeake colonies had many differences, they shared a common trait, freedom. During the 1600’s England’s primary religion was Christianity. Even if the citizens did not agree to follow Christianity they were forced to. As tensions grew the citizens started to discover the New world, where they would settle and practice the religion they wanted. Although both the Chesapeake and the New England colonies had roots from England, they separated into two colonies because of the different intention other than religion. Despite the separation both colonies were looking for religious freedom.
