The settlement of the southern colonies primarily focused on agriculture, with large plantations growing cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo, leading to a reliance on slave labor. In contrast, New England colonies were characterized by small farms and a focus on trade, fishing, and craftsmanship, driven by a Puritan religious ethos. The middle colonies exhibited a mix of both, with diverse economies that included farming and commerce, and were more religiously and ethnically diverse. These differences shaped the social, cultural, and economic landscapes of each region.
The middle colonies are more diverse than the New England colonies because the middle colonies had many different religions and culture such as puritan, Anglican, roman catholic, Amish, and many more.
The Chesapeake Colonies, including Virginia and Maryland, did not experience major witchcraft scares like those in New England due to several factors. Firstly, the Chesapeake had a more secular and commercial focus compared to the religious fervor of New England, leading to less emphasis on witchcraft accusations. Additionally, the Chesapeake had a more diverse population with a higher proportion of men, which may have contributed to fewer witchcraft accusations as women were typically the primary targets. Lastly, the legal systems in the Chesapeake were less conducive to witchcraft trials, with fewer cases reaching the courts compared to New England.
