Detailed explanation-1: -The New England Colonies’ geographical features were coastal plains, rolling inland hills, and large forested areas, with the Frontier on the western periphery. There was rocky soil in the region and their climate of shorter summers and longer winters made it more challenging to farm.
Detailed explanation-2: -A typical colonial family included parents, seven children and extended relatives. People were not permitted to live alone so grandparents, uncles, aunts, or cousins often lived with the nuclear family. Any servants the family may have had living with them were also considered a part of the family.
Detailed explanation-3: -All of the New England colonies had been covered by ice during the last Ice Age, which created poor, rocky soil. The final melt-back of the glaciers left some of the rocky areas peppered with large boulders.
Detailed explanation-4: -The New England colonies were flat along the rocky coastline, which made good harbors. It became hilly and mountainous further inland. The land was covered in dense forests. The soil was rocky, which made farming difficult.
