The New England and Chesapeake Bay regions in the early colonies were mainly settled by the people of England. However, these American regions had evolved into two unlike societies. This dissimilarity is due to the differing motives of voyaging to the Americas by diverse British settlers. This difference between familial settlers in the New England region and unrestricted young men in the Chesapeake region proved to shape two drastically different societies. The agriculture and landscape varied between the New England and the Chesapeake regions dependent upon the climate of either region. The corresponding agriculture and landscape contributed to the political, economic, and social distinctions affected by the types of people that settled in either province. The struggle for religious freedom caused some families to settle in the New England region, while wealth-seeking young men journeyed to the Chesapeake searching for gold. A list of immigrants headed for New England contained a higher number of families and an equal number of men and women (Doc B). These families were searching for a place they could practice their religion peacefully, for the Puritans in England were being persecuted. In Connecticut, founded by energetic Puritans, a theocracy was desperately wanted. Finally, in Rhode Island, Roger Williams wanted freedom of worship and protested against the Puritan's strict restrictions. However, immigrants bound for Virginia were predominantly young, single men (Doc C). Settlers of Jamestown, solely went there in the hopes of finding gold. Eventually, the mass production of tobacco would cause the need for indentured servants and later, slaves. James Rolfe introduced the cultivation of tobacco and from this Virginia found its cash crop, while the Carolinas were mass producers of bread. The Chesapeake's climate allowed for individuals to thrive alongside their crops. New England was more democratic because of their compact towns.
