The New England colonies were founded to escape religious persecution in England. The New England colonies had rocky soil, which was not suited to plantation farming, so the New England colonies depended on fishing, lumbering, and subsistence farming.

Religion played a key role in colonies that were established in New England. Many colonies were established by people who were exiled because of their religious beliefs. A group known as the Puritans wanted to reform the Church of England.

The New England colonists—with the exception of Rhode Island—were predominantly Puritans, who, by and large, led strict religious lives. ... Their laws assumed that citizens who strayed away from conventional religious customs were a threat to civil order and should be punished for their nonconformity.
