13 Colonies: Comparing Regions New England, Middle, and Southern

This PowerPoint, with activities, and lesson plans are available @: www.teacherspa...
This lesson teaches how the three regions of the 13 Colonies differed from one another: New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. Students will learn how the climate and geography of the three colonial regions impacted the economic as well as the social lives of colonists in the three regions of the 13 Colonies. Students will learn how the New England colonists had to look to different types of revenue as farming in these colonies, due to cold weather and bad soil, was meager. Students will be introduced to the way New Englanders turned to lumber, ship building and shipping, fishing, whaling and trading the center of their economic lives. Students will also learn how life was more centered around towns and strict religious practices. Next we provide an examination of the Middle Colonies, and their more diverse economic, ethnic, and religious diversity. Students will learn how this region, the “Breadbasket” of the colonies combined much more agriculture into their economy, with their mix of manufacturing, shipping, and trading. We look at the different religions of practiced in this regions and the different ethnic backgrounds of the settlers. Finally, students will learn how agriculture, especially the production of cash crops, impacted the social and economic lives of the Southern colonies. Students will learn how this region, which enjoyed more religious toleration, was spread out impacting the social, political and economic lives of the Southern Colonies. Student will be introduced to how slavery began to take hold in this region. Our lesson concludes with a look at some similarities between the lives of the average colonist in comparison to their European counterpart.
Like most of the videos on Mr. Raymond’s Civics and Social Studies Academy’s lessons, this video ends with a review “quiz.” Remember that the PowerPoint in this video as well as a variety of lesson plans, worksheets, smartboard files and activities, are available at Teachers Pay Teachers.
As a social studies teacher, I have often looked for good RUclips video clips to show my students. I hope these videos will serve as a supplement to lessons for civics teachers, US history teachers, US government teachers and their students. I have also thought that these videos could help those who are going to take the naturalization test to become US Citizens.

For HW, that's not bad... not bad at all.
We (as a society) watch hours upon hours of RUclips.
Taking some of that time, 11 minutes and 56 seconds, and watching an educational video ain't too bad.
Also, God loves you, sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for you, and Jesus rose/is risen from the grave.

How do you fail to mention that the North had slaves also...in 1776 there was twice as many slaves in New York than in Georgia...!! Make sure to teach the kids the right thing....!

[@MrRaymondSocialStudies]

If you had watched my other videos you would know that Georgia originally banned slavery and was the last of the 13 colonies founded with a tiny population in 1776. In 1790 the year after George Washington was sworn in, truly putting an end to our colonial era Virginia had close to 300,000 slaves compared to New York's 20,000 combined with their 5,000 free African-Americans. Did the North have slavery? Yes. But the date you give 1776 is when the North began to abolish it. The following year Vermont, became the first Northern state to do so. By 1804 all Northern states had voted to abolish slavery. I'm hoping you know what happened with slavery after that?! If not, keep watching!!
