SubjectColonial Geography

This learning resource provides an overview of the geographical features and characteristics of the thirteen American colonies, divided into three main regions: New England, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. The resource includes instructions for analyzing a map to identify a key geographical feature for each region, as well as a chart to fill in the social, political, economic, and religious/cultural characteristics of each region from a provided word bank. It further explores the cause and effect relationship between geographic features and economic activities in the colonies, and delves into the foundations of government by matching specific colonial governments to their regions and assessing their contributions to representative governance. Lastly, learners are encouraged to synthesize their understanding of how geography influenced colonial economies and social structures across the three regions.
