All About New England

The home of the Puritans!

New England Reason For Founding

The Puritans went to New England to purify the church of England. They also went to New England for religious freedom because in England the king chose the religion for the community. At the time he kept marring different people and they all had different religions so England would always change either to Catholic or Protestant.

Geography

New England has rocky coastlines which is good for docking ships. New England has long winters and short springs. All the winters are cold, but spring is somewhat warm, and since the winters are long the growing season is always short. There is rocky soil and lots of trees and forestry in New England.

New England Economy

Some popular jobs in New England are:
*Cutting down lumber and then selling wood
*Lots of fishing!
*Whaling
*Ship building

Comparing regions

Southern: The reason why New England is better than the Southern is because they had slavery going on for a while and it was a buffer zone.

Middle: A reason why you shouldn't go to the Middle states is that they had cold winters and hot and humid summers.

New England: This is the perfect place to be!
