​Class Recap:​
​Today we explored the evolution of the Chesapeake and New England colonies and the impact the introduction of Slavery had on the British Colonies in the New World. We also explored differences and the connection between the Production Economy of the Chesapeake Region and the Consumption Economy of New England.   ​

Two concepts worth contemplating are: "Slave Society"  vs. "A Society with Slaves" How does this apply to the regions we have studied thus far?​
