REGIONAL DIFFERENCES
in Colonial America
![Page 2: REGIONAL DIFFERENCES in Colonial America. LAND NORTH: narrow coastal plain rocky soil Appalachian Mountains not far from coast; natural barrier for population.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022072017/56649f0c5503460f94c1f796/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
LAND
NORTH:
narrow coastal plain
rocky soil
Appalachian Mountains not far from coast; natural barrier for population
SOUTH:
wide coastal plain
rich, fertile soil
Appalachian Mountains farther west; natural barrier for population

CLIMATE
North:harsh wintersshort summers
So…Some subsistence (small-scale) farming Families provide labor
South:mild winterslong summers
So…Many large-scale farms (plantations)
Need large labor force

RIVERS
North:
mostly narrow, shallow, rapid-filled
mostly not navigable
So…
South:many broad, deep, slow-movingmany navigable (accessible by ocean-going vessels)
So…

RIVERS
North:
difficult to travel inland
seaports used for trade
towns grow at natural harbors
South:rivers allow easy access inlandtrade takes place along riversfewer cities grow along coast or inland

RIVERS
North:
Roads needed for inland trade, but expensive, so most population stays along coast
South:
Rivers are “roads”
Population spreads out, so homes farther apart

MIDDLE COLONIES
Shorter winters than New England
Fertile soil good for cash crops, especially grain
So…
“breadbasket” of colonies

MIDDLE COLONIES
Cities grow up at excellent harbors:Philadelphia, at mouth of Delaware River
New York, at mouth of Hudson River

BACKCOUNTRY
Climate varies by latitudeIn/near Appalachian MountainsRushing streams“fall line” makes river transportation difficult
So…

BACKCOUNTRY
So settlers became…
Isolated
Self-sufficient
Suspicious of outsiders

BACKCOUNTRY
Dense forests
So…
Hunting
Trade with Native Americans
Plenty of materials for cabins, fences
