Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin
|
|
|
In May, 1607, the Virginia Company of London selected a site along the James River in Virginia, naming it Jamestown and establishing the first English colony in North America. What initially started as a staggering stock company’s investment, Virginia turned itself around in 1624 when King James overtook the company and created the Chesapeake society. On the other hand, in 1620, the New England society was born as the first Pilgrim settlers arrived in America on the Mayflower ship. Later on, in 1629, Puritan merchants obtained a charter granting them passage to settle in New England, thus creating the Puritan Massachusetts Bay colony. However, although both the New England and Chesapeake region were established by the English, they were different in many aspects. ... Furthermore, New England Puritans and Pilgrims emphasized the importance of a nuclear family and traveled to America as such, which, for example, is displayed in the Weymouth ship’s list for New England bound emigrants in March 1635.
