Colonial America. Both the Chesapeake and the New England regions were developed with the same basic influence from England, once they arrived these two regions became very different in their development.

        Politics is how the organization of most regions starts, with the starting of ideas on how to keep peace and everyone happy. John Winthrope, “we must be knit together in this work as one man… so shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.” Therefore Winthrope knew that there needed to be peace among them along with consideration of what they were going through and thus not only do they go through the struggles as and individual but as a community. In the Articles of Agreement ot was composed for the creation of the plantations, "everyone shall have a a share of the meadow or plantiground." Thus stating how the town would be composed of rich and poor families. The Mayflower Compact was the first step in creating a self government this would creat a basis for other self governing documents. In New England there were small farms as the the land was not fertile enough for plantations thus making the New England reaging an industrial region. Conpaird to the Chesapeake region where the land was rich creating the ability to have plantation with very little industry.  Because of the diversity in politics and agriculture the regions were now going to also be different in the economic views.

          The two regions are now starting to bring an income back to England creating a system of mercantilism.  Because New England was not able to have plantations they started to industrialize. Thus they made advancements in fishing, shipbuilding, and lumber creating a system of mercantilizm.  The Wage and Price Regulations in Connecticut, people were to serve God with thier work and that would be part of thier wages. Because of this profit from plantations and industries the was a fear of  invasion by the Dutch. Governor Berkeley and his Council had a meeting on thier inability to defend Virginia against a duch attack, they discussed the fear that they had if an invasion was to happened. The men would have to go protect the borders leaving the plantations behind resulting in debt becaus of the lack of workers and the lack of authority. All of thes strugles set up for two very diverse regions originating from the same place.

        The principles of which the two regions formed were founded with the intentions of a different society then England. The political, economic and social influence support the diversity in the two regions of the new world, creating  new traditions and a new way of life. The well knit together region of New England and the individualism of the Chesapeake regions set up for the basics of the development of the colonies as a whole.
