Essay 1There were many British colonies in the New World, many founded by people with different goals and beliefs. Due to the ideological differences held by the colonies, such as the Chesapeake Bay and New England colonies, political, economic, and cultural development differed between them. Despite having very different ways of organizing life, several colonies were ultimately able to resist British policies after the French and Indian War by coordinating forces. The cultural development of the Chesapeake Bay colonies and the New England colonies differed greatly because the people who were attracted to each were very different.

The first British colonies in America were founded and developed by people with different ideas and beliefs. Through their development they enjoyed freedoms and opportunities that would not have been available in England. When the colonies felt that these freedoms were being violated, they resisted British rule and eventually realized that the best way to resist was to do so cooperatively..
