Geographical Features ﻿ ﻿The Geography of New England is truly pretty interesting. All the colonies are on the ocean and a river runs through them so fishing is very good. All the colonies except for Connecticut need this because Massachusetts has too many forests and rocky land which is terrible for farming, Rhode Island has flat land but they have tiny mountains all over the place, and New Hampshire has too many mountains for farming. The geography of the New Engaland Colonies certainly isn't for farming but great for fishing. Religion Religion played played a huge role in the development and founding of the colonies considering all the colonies were created because of religious freedom. Massachusetts was for the Puritans, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hamspire were completely free of religious freedom. Economy  ﻿ Farming wasn't great in this region so hunting and fishing were popular. The English befriended the Native Americans so the could trade for needed resources.
