They are similar because rural means small, so it’s going from a small area to a big city, and that’s a big step. And going from a region to a different country... that’s a big thing two. They’re different because moving from a rural area to a city, it’s probably gonna be pretty similar to their last town, just bigger. And moving from a region to a different country, is a lot harder because there is different laws in different countries, and different languages.
Colonists liked when the government was not on their backs. They liked it when they were kind of free to do whatever they wanted with little say from the English government. When the government started imposing new laws and not giving the colonists as much leeway they did not like it.
