I believe that living in the chesepeake would have been a bad life. Disease plagued settlers for long periods of time and political chaos was going on in Jamestown. Settlers spent so much time looking for gold that wasent there that you couldent really call Jamestown a town due to the determination of the settlers to find gold that they pretty much ignored everything else in order to find it.
You bring up good points but not all of them are vaild. For one you cant say that since Virginia is where government strarted is more successful. I cant say that D.C is more successful city than New York today because thats not how it is. Yes you are right that New England did have to suffer same amount of dilemnas that Chesapeake did but not on such a high scale. The settlement of Jamestown took a long time to get established for one one of their governors Berkely was ran out of Jamestown! The New England Colonist more of befriended the Indians rather than push them out of their land. Isin't agriculture on such high means a bad thing for a country everyone is trying to bring together? Also black slavery was looked down on in some colonies in New England.
Even though Virginia was the first colony many colonists were afraid of going there because of fear of dying in the New World. At the start of the settlement nothing really got done in Virginia due to all of the colonists hunger for gold that wasent even there! The Tabacco industry was doing pretty good at first but the crop became easy to obtain and the price dropped.
I believe New England colonies have been more successful in settleing down and building their economy. They were definently more sucessful than the chesapeake colony when they started off. New England was beginning to be a very healthy place and one settler claimed "inhaling one breath of fresh New England air was better than all of Old Englands ale".
Children were growing up in a nurturing enviornment where they learned to read and write and were actively going to school. Full families began moving to New England rather than the Chesapeake. Also, laws prohibited men from abusing their wives in New England and abandonment was punishable.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
