Question 2

How did migrations to the Chesapeake and New England help to determine the initial character of these two colonial societies?

Accepted Answer

The migrations to the Chesapeake and New England played a critical role in shaping the initial character of these two colonial societies. In the Chesapeake region, the majority of migrants were young, single men seeking economic opportunities, particularly in the tobacco industry. This led to a predominantly male population and a focus on individual wealth accumulation. As a result, the Chesapeake society became characterized by a lack of social cohesion and a reliance on indentured servants and later, enslaved Africans to support the labor-intensive tobacco economy.

On the other hand, in New England, the migrants were primarily families seeking religious freedom and a sense of community. The Puritans, in particular, sought to create a society based on their religious beliefs, which emphasized communal responsibility and a strong work ethic. This led to the formation of tight-knit, homogeneous communities centered around the church and a strong emphasis on education and moral behavior. As a result, New England society became characterized by a strong sense of community, religious values, and a focus on education and social order.

In summary, the migrations to the Chesapeake and New England had a lasting impact on the initial character of these colonial societies, with the Chesapeake society being defined by individual wealth accumulation and a reliance on indentured and enslaved labor, while the New England society was characterized by communal values, religious faith, and a focus on education and social order.
