Topic 1.3
How did differing strategies of colonization lead to contrasting societies between New England colonies and New Spain territories?
English colonies were predominantly military outposts while Spanish settlements emphasized agriculture.
English emphasis on family-based settlements led to more balanced demographics while Spanish conquistadors often arrived solo creating male-dominated societies initially.
The Spanish colonization led to a more industrialized society, whereas the English established agricultural communities.
Both New England and New Spain had similar societies due to their common religious focus.
