Explanation : When we consider the history of New England it pertains to the New England region of North America in the United States. It is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States, which predates the American Revolution by more than 150 years. The English Pilgrims were Puritans fleeing religious persecution in England who established the first colony in New England in 1620. A large influx of Puritans populated New England during the Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640), largely in the Boston and Salem area. Farming, fishing, and lumbering prospered, as did whaling and sea trading. This proves that the country is New England.
