Chesapeake vs New England

Chesapeake vs New England

Today, the United States of America is a very racially and religiously diverse society.  We saw the seeds of diversity being sown in the early days of colonization when the Chesapeake and New England colonies grew into distinctive societies.  Even though both regions were primarily English, they had similarities as well as striking differences.  The differentiating characteristics among the Chesapeake and New England colonies developed due to geography, religion, and motives for colonial expansion.  
	Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay area, was not interested in long-term colonization in America.  Most emigrants bound for Virginia were young males, only a handful of women came across the Atlantic to the Chesapeake colonies.  At this time, men out numbered women 5 to 1, later this ratio only reached 5 to 2.  Because of the shortage of women, 70% of Chesapeake men never married.  Thus not producing any children to add to the colony’s population.  In 1607 the English were originally looking for gold, and silver, they also wished to find the cure for syphilis and the western passage to India.  After additional people had arrived in 1609, nearly 80% of Jamestown’s population had died.
