A similar point between these colonies is how both were based on agriculture that served both food and commerce.
<h3>What were the differences?</h3>
The colonials of New England focused on the export of wood.
For this, these colonies had a very efficient transport system.
The Chesapeake clones focused on tobacco production and export and on perennial crops that provided pasta for food.
Both colonies occupied and expelled indigenous villages, where they had to attack and suffer attacks from the natives due to the occupation of land. This changed the way of life of the natives and forced the creation of relationships between them and the settlers. Among these relationships, the Chesapeake colonies were more friendly, although they had to face some problems.
