12. Where would you rather live? New England, Middle, Southern?

Be sure to address EACH topic:

  1. Do you want to keep your family with you?

  2. Do you want to work as a farmer, in an Industry, or as something else? If so, what, and is that job available in that region?

  3. Is your religion welcome there?

  4. Do you want to make money, or are you okay with just living off the land?

  5. What type of government are you looking for?

  6. Overall feeling in the colony. How people treat each other, how accepting of others they are, what kind of community they are.

*****You have to decide where you would rather live. There are 6 things I would like you to talk about. If four fit, but the fifth doesn’t, are you willing to compromise that so you can start a new life in the colonies?

*****You are trying to show me that you know the differences between these three colonies. You want to REALLY explain why you chose the one you chose.


EXAMPLE ONLY!!!!!!


I would rather live in the Middle Colonies for many reasons. The farming is really great there, because of the rich soil. I know if I was a farmer I could make enough money to support my family and have a good life. I would be happy living there because my religion is accepted so I could also meet a lot of new people that way. I know most people didn’t bring their families with them like they do in New England or Southern colonies, but I think I would work for a while to save enough money to bring them here too. I would not want to stay here too long without them! The government in the middle colonies is kind of strict, and we don’t get to vote for our representatives, just on the laws. It doesn’t matter to me either way because women were not allowed to vote anyway. I think the middle colonies have a good mixture of people and religions, and it seems that people there will accept most other people.
