Rhode Island
Founded successfully in 1628 by a basically Puritan constituency from England, the Massachusetts Bay Colony had a number of the same goals as other English (and European) colonies in the New World. Distinctively, it also intended to establish a 'city upon a hill' that would shine a Christian light for all to see and provide them with a home in which they could freely practice their Puritan beliefs and customs.
No. The colony wouldn't have had a chance of survival if it weren't for the constant imports and new recruits it got from its home country, England. The death rate was about 70% for the first 7-10 years or so. After that time, though, the colony was relatively self sufficient.
the middle colonies
All English colonies were founded as homes for English colonists. That's kind of the whole point of a colony.

Ants live in structures called anthills or ant colonies. These colonies are typically made up of intricate tunnels and chambers where the ants nest, store food, and care for their young.

Many different types of people have lived in the southern colonies. Throughout history, however, the South has been the home to many subsistence farmers.
Two of the 13 original colonies were North Carolina and South Carolina. North Carolina was home to Roanoke's mysterious lost colony.
Farmers eat everything we do. Perhaps many years ago because geographically they were not as close to stores they may have eaten less processed foods and more "down home cooking" because of the availability.

Virginia was the home of the very first settlement in 1607 with Jamestown and then in 1620 came the Pilgrims to Massachusetts and Plymouth colony.
In the television series "Battlestar Galactica," the thirteenth colony is called "Earth." However, it is revealed later in the series that Earth was not the thirteenth colony of the Twelve Colonies but rather a distant planet that the survivors of the Twelve Colonies were searching for as a new home.
