For instance the establishment of Massachusetts was for the preservation of Puritan values, Jamestown for economic gains, Maryland for expansion of trade, and Plymouth for providing an alternative settlement to disgruntled Dutch people. However, the author of discussion failed to state that the differences in establishment and events that took place in the colony were linked to the specific population in the settlement.
In this case, Massachusetts sought to become a city on the hill because it was occupied by Puritans with strong religious beliefs (Winthrop, n.d.). Plymouth faced many hardships and aimed at producing profit for investors because its population was disgruntled people from Holland (Bradford, n.d.). While the origin of Maryland's settlers is not indicated in the article, trade became the center stage of the population's activities because of their focus on the existence of numerous commodities in the colony. Jamestown experienced significant difficulties because of the poor leadership, form of authority, and organization in the colony.
I agree with the final discussion because it basically provides an overview of the issues presented in the previous discussions. The overview discusses the nature and character of each colony with regards to their similarities and differences. This evaluation provides an in-depth analysis of the nature and character of the four colonies in the new world. The issues in the overview are seemingly accurate because the author has stated the reasons for the nature and character of each colony.
