Abstract
This chapter adds to, and coalesces, material to clarify the distinctive regional culture embodied in each colony. Henretta (1973) provides excellent data about the colonies, quite similar to that of Baltzell (1979) and Fischer (1989), and additional details that help us understand more about colonial life. He states that despite allegiance to, and origin in, England, with similarities in language and political institutions, the colonies in British North America diverged markedly in social development. The economic base, population composition, value systems, and character structure of the colonists varied from one colony to the next.
