After England's victory over the Spanish Armada, England concentrated on the colonization of the New World. With the emergence of the joint-stock companies, England dreams turned into England realities. Financed by the joint-stock companies, colonies were planted in the New World. Mainly people of English origin settled these colonies. Two distinguishable regions, which housed these immigrants, were New England and the Chesapeake region. Although they both did shelter mostly English settlers, by 1700, they evolved into two distinct societies. This difference in development was due to the fact that both regions were settled by either families or single men, settlers had different morals, and different motives for settling. The New England colonies and Chesapeake region were both shelters for English immigrants. However, both regions developed differently due to these same English immigrants. These facts might seem to look like they're contradicting each other, but they're not. It is quite true. According to Document B, the immigrants bound for New England were mainly made up of families.

(E) However, in Document F, inequality can be clearing seen. (D) In Document E, wage and price regulations are stated. Berkeley was afraid that the freedmen would change in hopes of bettering their condition. This difference was caused by the type of immigrants that came to the colony, difference of morals, and difference of motives of settlement. Generally speaking, the New England settlers mainly came for religious purposes while the Chesapeake region settlers came for business motives. The wealthy settlers obtained better treatment than the poorer settlers. Indentured servants were the ones who did most of the labor in the colony. (G) In Document H, Bacon tries to justify his rebellion by saying that the government was stealing money that was intended for the advancement of the colony. This is because most men believed in finding gold, and nothing else. The Puritan bay colonists believed that they had covenant with God, an agreement to build a holy society that would be a model for humankind.
