What was the single most important factor in explaining the difference between the Massachusetts and Virginia colonies?
What change occurred in the Chesapeak area after the 1680's?
What was the major effect of the Stono Rebellion?
Thanks so much in advance if you can help me with these questions! :)
1. The land: Massachusetts was full of rocks and unable to grow agriculturally so they relied on manufacturing and shipbuilding whereas Virginia prospered on tobacco. Also socially, Masachusetts was almost strictly puritan while Virgina was Anglican.
2. Slavery. Bacon's rebellion showed the plantation owners that white indentured servants were to risky and looked elsewhere for cheap labor.
thanks so much. but i dont know where you got Bacon Rebellion from but the first part did help.
