New England had a harsher climate. The colonists could do farming only for their own household. They made a living by fishing or shipbuilding. Many of them were Protestants, generally Separatists. They believed strongly in education feeling that the ability to read the Bible would help their souls.

The Middle Colonies had a milder climate. They could grow wheat and grind it to make bread which was sold for other products. They were less strict about their religion. The Quakers of Pennsylvania and New Jersey tolerated other religions. Rhode Island also had freedom of religion. New York had dairy farms and apple orchards.
