DBQ 2 By the time of the 1700?s, immigrants and settlers were beginning to start societies in the New World. The English colonies were all being formed by different leaders for different purposes such as William Penn settling the Pennsylvania area with the Quakers or Lord Baltimore in Maryland. During the era of early colonial settlement, it was a time of colonist settling in areas because of diverse motives. Although the New England area and Chesapeake Bay region were settled mostly by white Englishmen, they had become two distinct societies by the 18th century. These areas both evolved separately because of their difference in demographics, economic indifferences, and religious devotion.
