What was the climate of New England?

Answer 1

The climate of New England was generally very similar to England or France, with only minor differences. It was a maritime climate (which means that its temperature is cooler in the summer but warmer in the winter than further in-land) and this climate helped promote growing crops because winter was shorter and growing season longer. The climate was not, however, well-suited to growing special tropical crops, like tobacco, indigo, or sugar, because it was note warm enough. The level of rain was less than England at the time but higher than the modern Midwest.
