compare and contrast the colonization of new England and Virginia in thier first 25 years. which do you think was more successful and why?
New England colonies emerged through process of group
settlement. These groups establish new town which regulated by
general court or legislature. This legislature determines the
admission of settlers and freeholders. Military services, elections
and taxation were based on the town. The settlement in Virginia is
different from New England. There is a greater use of servants and
slaves. This makes the social life, corporation and communal
activities more pathetic. Most of the natural political units in
Virginia were parishes and counties.
The colony power depend Virginia for private investment from profit
minded backers to finance their colony. The health and economic
position of the colonist improved through pilgrimage death due to
diseases. There is a clear discrimination between men and women in
case of voting. Colonists themselves blame for the failure in
Virginia. Encounter of the Native Americans showed the failure of
colonisation in Virginia. There is a lack of experience of the
colonist in Virginia make the situation worse and also its leads to
the end of colonisation.
