DBQ - New England and Chesapeake region
New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin. By 1700, the area had evolved into two distinct societies. The societies developed so distinctly because of the sociological differences between the people of both regions. One of the societies consisted of forty families that worked together as one and centered on God. The Lord came before success and the people followed him trying to be Disciples of Christ (Doc. D). The families shown in Doc. B ranged from 1 year to 40 at greatest. Most had some sort of skill that helped in doing work whether it be a tailor, a clothier or a minister, they all had something that they could do to help out the community.

In the other group there was a significant line separating the rich and poor making status incredibly important. The families made a more organized community, and probably a stronger one once the children grew up and procreated. Organization and unity is what they based their society on. The individual men, and few women, were all in it for themselves, making a greedy and dishonest society. In the end, it was the type of person that split the societies up. Although this community had great ideas and seemed to work rather well, it had its problems just like any other society.
