Answer:
New England Colonies - These colonies were founded by puritan separatists. The main reason was to flee religious persecution. Life there was controlled unders strict religious principles, and societal structure was very egalitarian.
Mid-Atlantic Colonies - These colonies were founded by private companies that obtained royal authorization (royal charters). They were characterized by a higher degree of religious diversity, with denominations such as a quakers, catholics, and presbyterians living there.
Southern Colonies - they were the last to be founded. These colonies had a warmer climate that allowed for the development of large cash crop plantations. These plantations led to the importation of thousands of African slaves. However, the backcountry of these colonies was very different, settled mainly by poor white farmers who lived off subsistance agriculture (many of them coming from Scotland and the Ulster).
In the North cold made farming difficult while in the South climate was ideal for agriculture.
Immigration created a huge population increase in the North while 1/3 of the southerners were slaves. Cities in the north developed as centers of trade whereas most southerners lived on farms.
The economy in the North was based on manufacturing differing from the agricultural South.
But the most significant development was transportation. Canals had been built and most of the railroads were in the North. However, the south still depended on steamships.
