Compare colonial life in Massachusetts to colonial life in the Chesapeake in the 17th century, considering: motivations and purposes of the colonists; religious practice; life expectancy; relationships with Native Americans; reliance on African slavery; factors contributing to commercial success; how each region was affected by developments, such as Indian wars, the Dominion of New England, or witch craft trials, at the end of the century. What would have been the advantage, or disadvantage, to you, had you lived in one or the other of these settlements?
