What do you mean about an oppressive government in the Northern colonies? Explain.
The Southern colonists were religious -- but not as fundamental as the Northerners.
Weren't the Northern colonies also subject to royal governors?
I need to find a little more information about the differences between the North and South where it concerns the political and economic situation. Here is what I have: Policital, the North had an oppresive government. The South , the government, was subject to royal governors and dominated by planters, farmers, consisted of men and land owners. Economic: North: more industry, fishing and mining, farm were smaller, provided just for families, against slavery, religion was big. South: agriculture, wealthy land owners, for slavery, lived on plantations, was not religious people. Is there anything else that I should add?
