Q1. The two colonies had no similarities. The New England colonists were Puritans who resided in self-governing agriculturally oriented communities. These colonists were after religious freedom in the Americas. Their devotion was based on religious families founded on a society with a religious background. Thus, New England did not experience anything to do with the witch power scares and rebellion. Likewise, Chesapeake went to the Americas for gold and silver search as well as anything that would offer a profit. Religion was less also in the colony thus explaining why Chesapeake had Bacon’s Rebellion with no witchcraft as well.

Q2. The Native American had no immunity against diseases that were brought by the European explorers and colonialists. Secondly, the American Indians were not well equipped to resist the European invaders. The Native Americans were also unfamiliar with the European customs such as the political, economic and military aspects. The other reason is that the Native Americans tribes were lacking organized political unity which was triggered by the frequent conflicts they always engaged in.

Q3. The colonies were responsible for supplying the country with resources. The provinces also created a market for the finished goods from their mother country. Therefore the primary purpose was to enrich the mother country.

Q4.     The war made the British to be more active in both subject political and economic matters. The British wanted the debt of winning over the French to be paid by the American colonies with taxes. They introduced levying of taxes and imposing of regulations unfairly in their territories. This facilitated resentment by the settlements on the British charges. Later on, the colonists rebelled and boycotted the taxes. Thus, this altered the relationship between the British and its colonies.
