We didnt choose The New England Colonies

• Because the soil was too thin and rocky for them
  to grow cash crops for spending money and they
  were too prim, proper, and pious to spend money
  on wigs anyway

We didnt choose the Southern Colonies

• Too swampy and hot
• Settlers thought they would get rich quick, and
  return to England
