The three British colonial regions were New England, the middle, and the Southern colonies. The English settlements located on the Atlantic coast of North America.  Each of the regions had specific economic, social, and political developments. New England is Puritan in religion, while the Middle colonies had religious freedom for Quakers, Lutherans, Jews, and Catholics. Southern also had religious freedom for Baptists and Anglicans.

Trade and exports divided according to geographical conditions. The New England Colonies consisted of mountains, trees, rivers and rocky soil that made people difficult to farm. The natural resources they exported were fish, whales, furs, copper, livestock products, rum, whiskey, timbers.
