Southern colonies were largely agrarian and void of cultural diversity due to the presence of slaves - it discouraged immigrants. The New England colonies were originally a religious monopoly that spurred desenters and new colony (Rhode Island). The lack of arable soil and presence of narrow, fast-moving rivers led growth of factories using hydroelectricity. The middle colonies were the most ethnically diverse of the bunch, due mainly to their original settlers: New York (by the Dutch), Delaware (Swedish colony), Maryland (haven for Catholics) and Pennsylvania (German settlers - Pennsylvania "dutch" is a bastardization of the German word for "German" - "Deutsch").

Every colony was unique, but one of the main differences between colonies were that they were split into three different groups (the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern colonies) that produced 3 different things, came from 3 main countries of origin, for three different reasons, and they became one, the thirteen colonies.

The northern colonies have subsistence farming. The southern colonies have great soil for farming. The people in the northern colonies mainly came for religious freedom. The southern colonies mainly came for economic opportunities. Slaves were needed in the south to help with crops, but not needed in the north except to show off their owner's money.

All three sections permitted some degree of religious tolerance, and also, they had a mostly Protestant population. In New England and the South, it was mostly the English.
