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
