Question

A. The Chesapeake and New England regions had many differences in development, but they also had similarities.

Answer 1

A thesis statement that would not be acceptable is B. The Chesapeake and New England colonies developed into two distinct societies based on their geography, reasons for founding, economic characteristics, and relationships with American Indians.

You did not include the prompt in the question but the above should be the best answer.

The New England Colonies and the Chesapeake colonies were different in that:

• New England colonies were founded to escape religious persecution while the Chesapeake colonies were founded to make profit
• New England colonies engaged in shipping, food production and lumbering whereas the Chesapeake colonies focused on tobacco.

Even though they were different in the above regard, their treatment of Native Americans was the same as they both started off with peaceful relations with the Natives which eventually deteriorated into war.

We can therefore conclude that even though they differed in several ways, they did not differ in Native treatment which would make option B wrong.
