Hello, my name is Juan Maciel and I will be discussing Topic 1A -  the Social and Political aspects of the New England Region. I will start by asking the question, “ What was New England colonial life like?” I began by using the research resources: A Handy Guide to the Colonies, New England Colonies information sheet and the New England Economy and Religion information Sheet. The four New England colonies are Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
