I have to develop a chart explaining the financing, motivation for founding, and political, social, and economic organization of each area: (a) the plantation colonies; (b) New England; (c) the middle colonies. Include a definition of "joint stock," "proprietary," and "Royal" or "Charter" colonies, the degree of self-government and extent of participation, economic base, labor, opportunities for social and political mobility, education, etc. What elements did all these colonies have in common? What major differences existed? What accounts for the differences?
I have some of it done but not enough, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Alex

Plantation Colonies:Mostly settled by single men, looking for profit. All structures were temporary, and life was not meant to be permanent.
New England Colonies: Colonists were "separatists" or protestants that did not believe that the church of England was serving the protestant religion, but rather still Catholicism under a different name. They settled for religious freedom, and to start a new life. They broke completely off from the Church of England.
Middle Colonies:The middle colonists were in the middle. They came for religious freedom, however they were still connected to the Church of England. Hope this helps.
