Explain how English colonies in the New World were different from one another in terms of government, population, and origin.

The English colonies in the New World, such as Mass Bay, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Georgia, were different from one another in terms of government, population, and origin.

Massachusetts and Maryland were colonies that were strictly based on religious purposes. Maryland was a colony that was given the name "Catholic Haven"and was founded and named after Lord Baltimore in 1634 . The Mass. Bay colony was founded in 1628. These two colonies were founded mainly on the beliefs that the colonies would be a significant part of the New World.

Some colonies were established for all reasons except religious purposes. Economic reasons also played a huge role for some of the colonies. These colonies had views of profit, wealth, and land. Delaware was started by De Lord Warr, for economic ventures. He believed that land for tobacco would make this colony a Royal colony in many ways. North Carolina was another colony that was established based upon economic reasons and set wealth. Both of these colonies were alike together, but different from all of the other colonies.

Georgia was a colony that was extremely different from the other colonies. This colony was established to be a penal colony. Georgia was a colony for prisoners who did not obey the colony rules, laws, and regulations. Founded in 1733, 126 years after the first colony Virginia, Georgia would protect the Carolina's from the Spaniards and the French. Although the other colonies now had slaves, this colony was remarkably keep slavery out and prisoners in.

All of these colonies were established on exceptionally different reasons and for greatly different ambitions. These colonies were established for religious and economic ventures. They were different in terms of population, government, and origin. Some were more lenient than others, and others were more democratic and self righteous. The colonies who wanted to be more religious than others did not understand the colonies that were not like them. Although these colonies may seem like they all were established for the same reason, they are as unique as any person can be.

T,

Put the different colonies in your thesis that you will be writing about, and I'll come back and grade it. Also try to rewrite your essay in one or at the most two sentences.

T,

It's still confusing-Use the same words as they are in the statement. Try this: The English colonies in the New World, such as Mass Bay, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Georgia, were different from one another in terms of government, population and origin.
That is your first paragraph.

D/C

P.S. Change it to that thesis and I'll change your grade to a "C"
