19. The people of New England found hilly terrain with rocky soil and jagged coastlines. They enjoyed moderate summers and endured long, cold winters. The Appalachian Mountains and Boston Harbor were two of the main geological features. Land was flat close to the coastline but became hilly and mountainous farther inland. Soil was generally rocky, making farming difficult. The plentiful coastline of New England made many people take jobs in the fishing industry. The shipbuilding industry also flourished… because the fishermen needed ships of course. New England’s numerous ports grew into cities. Ships left carrying goods, and ships arrived bringing in more goods. The area was key to trade. Skilled craftsmen and shopkeepers also settled there. The skilled craftsmen would create many naval supplies for all of the shipbuilders. The shopkeepers would work in cities such as Boston. Groups of people settled in New England in villages and cities. People seeking the freedom to worship without any problem formed most settlements in New England. The church was the center of social life. The Puritans, reformers seeking to “purify” Christianity, who came over from England to practice religion without persecution, dominated the New England colonies. Puritans followed strict rules and were intolerant (did not like) of other religions. Life in New England was dominated by church, and there were severe consequences for those who failed to attend, or, those who spoke out against the Puritan ways. Singing and celebrating holidays were among things prohibited in Puritan New England. New Englanders were involved in political and civic affairs. They discussed city business at town meetings. 1.

29. In the Mid-Atlantic region, there were coastal lowlands with many harbors and bays and wide, deep rivers. The Appalachian Mountains also ran through the region. Settlers there found rich farmland, where was easy to use because of the moderate climate. Climate and land were ideal for agriculture. These colonies were known as the "breadbasket" because of the large amounts of barley, wheat, oats, and rye that were grown here. The Mid-Atlantic’s rich farmland was perfect for producing livestock. Grain to feed the livestock could also be easily grown in the Mid-Atlantic. Largely agricultural, farms in this region grew numerous kinds of crops, most notably grains and oats. Corn was often grown. Logging, shipbuilding, textiles production, and papermaking were also important in the Middle Colonies. Many people would take their supplies to the market towns to sell their goods! Big cities such as Philadelphia and New York were major shipping hubs, and craftsmen such as blacksmiths, silversmiths, cobblers, wheelwrights, wigmakers, and others contributed to the economies of such cities. A number of areas became major trading centers because of the coastal areas. Fishing was a key industry. Skilled (wigmaker (great at one thing)) and unskilled (farmer (good at many things)) workers settled there. In the Mid-Atlantic Region, villages and cities also common, but people were more diverse. Colonists from other countries, as well as England, settled here. They brought different religions, traditions and cultures, leading to more varied settlements. Religious tolerance attracted immigrants from a wide-range of foreign countries who practiced many different religions. Quakers, Catholics, Jews, Lutherans and Presbyterians were among those religious groups that had significant numbers in the middle colonies. Most of the civic and political involvement took place in market towns where many people lived. 1. What were the Mid-Atlantic colonies known as? 2. What was often grown? 3. Where did they sell their goods? 4. Name two big cities. 5. Describe the religions and lifestyles.

37. The South was noted for several geographical regions including the Appalachian Mountains, the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and the Piedmont. Good harbors and many rivers made it a favorable region. The warm and humid climate made it ideal for growing many crops. The soil was perfect for farming and the growing season was longer than in any other region. Hot summers, however, propagated diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. In the South, agriculture was key to the economy. Both large plantations and small farms could be found throughout the region. Cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo (blue dye use to color clothing) were important. Wood products were important to the economy. Slaves did much of the work- especially the hard, hot work in the fields-. In fact, Charleston, South Carolina became one of the centers of the American slave trade in the 1700's. People were scattered in small groups in the South. Many lived on the farms, both large and small. They grew and gathered food, made their own cloth and clothing, and took care of themselves without interacting much with others. Slaves and indentured servants were common in the South. There were few cities or schools. The Church of England was the main church. Religion did not have the same impact on communities as in the New England colonies or the Mid-Atlantic colonies because people lived on plantations that were often distant and spread out from one another. The South was divided into counties—centers of political and civic life. Prince William County is an example!! 1. What was the climate like? 2. Who did most of the work in the fields? 3. How did most people get food and clothing? 4. Where there many schools and cities? 5. What was the South divided into?

58. I raised dairy cattle and hogs for a living. My farm was on the backs of a large river I learned to build ships in England. When people started going to the colonies, I thought I could come too and make a good living as a shipbuilder. My trade was as a fisherman.
