I am doing a report on the Connecticut River Valley colony for history. I am supposed to be a surveyor in the first half of the 18th century and i am supposed to tell the advantages and disadvantages the the colony would be. I am supposed to include things like the habitat of the colony, and the potential for cultural, economic, political and religious growth in the colony based on the existing colony. Where can I find this kind of information? Also, would the Pequots still be a disadvantage of the colony even after they were defeated in the Pequot war? thanks so much :)
