It's true that England was responsible for the early colonization of the New England and Chesapeake regions. By 1700, the New England and Chesapeake regions grew into distinct societies due to political complications, religious deviation and migration patterns. New England and Chesapeake were influenced by political tribulations, rebellions, and inability to defend each government. Chesapeake and New England began to each get involved in some sorts of political problems both individually and with each other. The Chesapeake region especially, lacked the sense of unity and togetherness that was vital in keeping a stable political system in New England. Leaders in the Chesapeake were often considered "vile commanders with their golden promises made all men their slaves"" (Doc. F). The structured rule of New England clashed greatly with the disorganized ways of the Chesapeake. Rebellions within the colonies broke out, which lead to settlers supporting and relying on the government officials who would shame the settlers of other regions (Doc H). Chesapeake had internal issues they were obligated to face alone and solve them such as not being adequately supported against the Dutch, while New England had the luxury to not have those worries (Doc G). The two regions were also individually affected by religious inconformity, changes in viewpoints and separations that consumed the societies. The regions began to differ to a greater extent due to variations in religious views. New Englanders came to escape religious persecution; one would think that it would become a land of complete tolerance. However the New Englanders had a very strong religious base, and thought of themselves to be "God's providence" (Doc. D).
John Winthrop was the leader of the Puritans who envisioned a Puritan based utopic society (Doc A). However New England did run into complications, for which agreements were established with religious influence within the documents with the intention of adding importance to religion (Doc D).
