             By 1700 the New England and the Chesapeake regions had evolved into two distinct societies, despite the fact that people of English origin had largely settled both of these regions. The emigrants on the ships bound for New England were mainly made up of families. Alternatively, the emigrants on the ships that were bound for Virginia were largely made up of men. Few of these emigrants headed for Virginia were women. In Massachusetts, all people, whether rich or poor, were given a convenient proportion for a house lot and everyone was given a share of the meadow or planting ground. In Virginia, on the other hand, the rich were treated with much greater superiority than the poor. This difference in society occurred due to the fact that the New England region was mainly composed of families and all people were treated with respect, rich or poor. The Chesapeake region was primarily constructed of men and the well-to-do people were treated with much greater respect and supremacy.
