ANALYSis
Religion and Economy Analysis: Because the religion is Anglican, Anglicans from England came here for profit, an experience of the New World, and more land. The economy is mostly agriculture because of the fertile soil in the Southern Colonies. This affected the demand for cash crops and tobacco.
Founding Effect Analysis: Since Virginia was founded for gold and profit, and they accepted anyone who wanted to come to the new world there were people who wanted to start over, people willing to wrk out their debt, or very wealthy English men who were coming to find gold, and glory. Also Plymouth was founded to "purify" Christianity so they accepted people with the same beliefs as them.
