I dissagree with your statement that the Chesapeake colonines were dysfuntional. They formed the house of burgesses which was a very useful and functional system of government.

At this point in history, black slavery wasn't really an issue in America. There were only a few black slaves anywhere. As the book says "blacks were too costly for most of the hard-pinched white colonists to afford"

It seems that everyone here is arguing that the Chesapeake colonies' location was less ideal for trade with England than the New England colonies'. That is absolutely not true. Ships docked in a bay which protected them from the stormy Atlantic. That network of rivers and swamps that gave everyone typhoid in the beginning was now both an irrigation system and a network of trading routes. Without this network, the vast tobacco plantations that were key to Chesapeake's success would not have been possible. While Chesapeake was flourishing, New England's rocky soil and lack of river networks kept it from obtaining success on the world economic scene.

During the colonial era, Chesapeake colonies were more successful than the New England Colonies. The original purpose of of the New England Colonies was to allow the colonists freedom from religious oppression. However, the New England colonies failed to allow its inhabitants religious freedom. Anne Hutchinson was driven out for challenging Puritan orthodoxy and the peaceful Quakers were persecuted. New England failed to fulfill its purpose- religious freedom- at the most fundamental level.

On the other hand, the Chesapeake colony succeeded in its purpose. The Virginia Company of London sent colonists to America for one reason: to make money. After a rocky start, the discovery of tobacco as the perfect cash crop sent the economy skyrocketing and thus made the Virginia Company successful.
