Geographic Conditions of New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies
The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies are affected by the geographic conditions of each region in which the colonies are located. The New England Colonies have cold, dry winters, and cool, humid summers as well as short growing seasons which limit their farming. The Middle colonies have fertile land, middle growing seasons, as well as two major rivers, which contribute to the success of the Middle colonies. The Southern colonies have long growing seasons, fertile land, and large plantations, which make the colonies successful. The geographic conditions of the three major areas of English settlement in the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies account for the differences in the colonial way of live within each of these colonies.
The New England colonies (New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and
Massachusetts) were among the first colonies settled by the English in the New World. The Pilgrims settled in the New England colonies because they were seeking religious freedom and job opportunities that would provide them with money. ... Little did the settlers of the New England colonies know that the soil was too thin and too rocky to grow cash crops. ... The money they made from these jobs is positively affected as a result of the location of the New England colonies.
