Question

How did the motivations for settlement differ among the British colonies?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each of the original English colonies in the New World was founded with a distinct purpose. This purpose shaped the colony’s government, its economy, and even the settlers that it attracted. Interestingly enough, the foundational goals upon which a colony was founded tended to be fairly homogeneous with the other colonies in its region, which may be due to the fact that similar crops were grown in colonies with comparable climates.
