Even though the Northern Colonies (Middle + New England) and the Southern Colonies were settled by English people, and belonged to Great Britain, they developed into very different societies. The Northern and Southern colonies were different politically, socially, and economically.”Write an essay that supports this statement. Write and support a thesis that contrasts the Northern and Southern colonies, do not simply re-state the prompt as your thesis statement. Textbook pages previously assigned that can provide specific details for your essay: Virginia (South), New England (North), Middle Colonies (North)Southern Colonies (besides Virginia)Northern Economy and Cities. If you use an outside source, you must cite that source in your paper. If you use the textbook, (pg. #) will suffice for citations, if you use a source besides the book, use MLA formatting for in-text citations. Specific details that could be included in your essay:(not all of these details can be explained in a single essay…but you will want to explain specific events to prove the differences in the colonies).South:JamestownCash CropsPowhatan WarsReasons for emigrating to VirginiaTypes of people who came to VirginiaIndentured Servants House of BurgessesBacon’s RebellionAristocracySlavery (Causes for Slavery in South)Anglican ChurchPlantationsStono Rebellion and Slave ActWomen’s rolesNorth: Puritan Church“City Upon a Hill”Bible Commonwealth Reasons for emigrating to MassachusettsRoger WilliamsAnn HutchinsonKing Philip’s WarSalem Witch TrialsNorthern Cities’ Diverse EconomyUniversities and EnlightenmentPennsylvania Quakers & ethnic diversityNew York economy & ethnic diversityLevel of political freedom
