 * Geography || The colony had a rough, cold, damp climate, so you should dress up in warm clothes. The most valuable crops there were sugarcane and tobacco, but most of the soil wasn’t good for farming as it is hard and rocky. The weather was cold most of it's time as it was one of the Northern colonies ||  ||
 * Daily Life and Social Class || Most colonists worked on the docks, where they had to fish, because that was the main food in New England colonies. Social class of the New England colonies weren't quite as drastic as that of the Chesapeake colonies. At the top were the clergymen, as New England life typically centered around religion, usually Puritan. Then came the white men, who generally owned small farms or businesses and had a family. Naturally, after that came the women, who were expected to give birth to and raise the children. At the bottom were the (very few) black slaves. Social classes were fairly equal, and the only difference between classes were the level of responsibility each had to the community. || http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_social_class_of_the_New_England_Colonies ||
