Colonial New England

Colonial New England refers to the group of English colonies established in the northeastern part of North America during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Known for its focus on community, religion, and education, these colonies were founded mainly by Puritans seeking religious freedom. The region's economy was based on small-scale farming, fishing, and trade, with towns centered around churches and town meetings. Colonial New England played a vital role in early American history, influencing social and political ideas, and setting the foundation for the United States through their emphasis on community governance and individual rights.
