Answer:

New England has mountains with trees, rocky soil. Colonists of New England were less ethnically mixed. Summers were often hot and winters cruelly harsh.

Explanation:

The New England Colonies established by the Puritans, who practice and follow a religion with strict beliefs. In the New England Colonies, the immigrants were Puritans in Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and New Hampshire colonies. The Puritans of New England built towns along with Churches as a place of worship and gathering place. The life of the puritans revolved around the teachings of the bible and working rather than enjoying it leisurely. Economic activities and trade were dependent on the environment in which the Colonists lived as they made their living from fishing, whaling, and shipbuilding.

They exploited the forest by cutting down trees for timber. Took lands which once belonged to Native Indians. They also ceaselessly caught codfish in the coast.
