Detailed explanation-1: -The colonies developed into three distinct regions: New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. Each region developed a different economy and society. Cold winters, short growing season, and a rugged landscape.
Detailed explanation-2: -New England had craftsmen skilled in shipbuilding. The Mid-Atlantic had a workforce of farmers, fishermen, and merchants. The Southern Colonies were mostly agricultural with few cities and limited schools. New England’s economy at first specialized in nautical equipment.
Detailed explanation-3: -While each of the colonies had their own relationship with Britain, there were important points of overlap. Just like free-born British subjects in other parts of the Empire, white Anglo-Americans thought of themselves as British. Because of this, they demanded the same rights and freedoms as those born in Britain.
Detailed explanation-4: -The goal of independence would have been strongest in the New England colonies of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire because that is where the fewest Loyalists lived.
