The economy of the Northern and Southern colonies differed due to the industries that were available. The Northern colonies had the shipping industry, however in the winter the economy suffered. The Southern colonies had the plantations, and the economy thrived during both winter and summer.
The New England colonies were very religious, mainly Puritan. They consisted of close together houses. This was because of the Puritan policy on basically spying on your neighbor to see if they were doing anything unworthy. Small plots of farmland surrounded the community and separated them from other communities. Southern colonies were mainly agricultural, and the main cash crop was tobacco. Houses weren't close together, as they were surrounded by large plots of cultivated land.
The New England had bad soil so they made friends with natives. The Middle Colonies did not fish.
