In 1419, a Portuguese navigator, Prince Henry started a period known as "exploration era". European leading powers, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom all participated in colonial activities in unknown areas. Samuel de Champlain colonized the St. Lawrence River in 1608, Henry Hudson of the Netherlands established Albany in 1609, and Spain established colonies in Mexico and Central America. In 1607, the UK established the first colony in North America near the Chesapeake Bay and nearly a decade later, founded the second colony in today's New England.
In stark contrast to the Chesapeake colony, the establishment of the New England colony was partly due to the religious persecution of the English church. In order to eliminate opponents from the UK, the King will issue a charter to the leaders of religious groups and will allow them to make their own colonies. It is necessary to benefit from the colonies, but the Protestant in England must wipe out the England church of other religions. On the economic side, the New England colony did not rely on crops to make profits like crops. New England is doing better trade; a natural harbor like Plymouth and Boston is an ideal place for other countries to visit and trade. In addition to small farms, sawmills, fish and shipbuilding industry, many craftsmen and craftsmen developed in colonies, creating a small "trade city" in New England.
There are some economic differences between the New England colony and the Chesapeake colony (for example, the New England economic products are diverse and the Chesapeake's economy depends heavily on a single product) . Products in these two regions are due to the region's climate and soil conditions. The Chesapeake area has one mile of fertile soil that people can cultivate. On the other hand, the climate of New England is colder than Chesapeake Island, soil is not suitable for agriculture. This situation in New England leads to the diversity of its economic products.
