New England is a geographical region comprising six states of the northeastern United States: MaineVermontNew HampshireMassachusettsRhode Islandand Connecticut. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south. Bostonthe capital of Massachusetts, is New England's largest city. The largest metropolitan area is Greater Bostonwhich also includes Worcester, Massachusetts the second-largest city in both Massachusetts and New EnglandManchester the largest city in New Hampshireand Providence the capital and largest city of Rhode Islandwith nearly a third of the entire region's population.

InPuritan Separatist Pilgrims from England first settled in the region, forming the Plymouth Colonythe second successful English settlement in the Americas, following the Jamestown Settlement in Virginia founded in Ten years later, more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in Boston, thus forming Massachusetts Bay Colony. Over the next years, people in the region fought in four French and Indian Warsuntil the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America.

Inthe town of Salem, Massachusetts and surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemispherethe Salem witch trials. In the late 18th century, political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated resistance to Britain's efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government, which were termed the " Intolerable Acts " by the colonists. The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in spring The region also played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States, and was the first region of the U.

The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area. Southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plainwhile the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains. With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast, numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers, such as the Connecticut Riverwhich bisects the region from north to south.

Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities known as townsmany of which are governed by town meetings. The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

The region is one of the U. Census Bureau's nine regional divisions and the only multi-state region with clear, consistent boundaries. It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity[11] although the terms of this identity are often contrasted, combining Puritanism with liberalism, agrarian life with industry, and isolation with immigration. The earliest known inhabitants of New England were American Indians who spoke a variety of the Eastern Algonquian languages.

The Penobscot lived along the Penobscot River in Maine. The Narragansetts and smaller tribes under Narragansett sovereignty lived in most of modern-day Rhode Island, west of Narragansett Bay, including Block Island.

The Wampanoag occupied southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The Pocumtucks lived in Western Massachusettsand the Mohegan and Pequot tribes lived in the Connecticut region. The Connecticut River Valley includes parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, linking numerous tribes culturally, linguistically, and politically. As early asFrenchDutchand English traders began exploring the New Worldtrading metal, glass, and cloth for local beaver pelts.

On April 10,King James I of England issued a charter for the Virginia Companywhich comprised the London Company and the Plymouth Company. These two privately funded ventures were intended to claim land for England, to conduct trade, and to return a profit.

InPilgrims from the Mayflower established Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, beginning the history of permanent European settlement in New England. InEnglish explorer John Smith named the region "New England".

Massachusetts Puritans began to settle in Connecticut as early as Relationships between colonists and local Indian tribes alternated between peace and armed skirmishes, the bloodiest of which was the Pequot War in which resulted in the Mystic massacre. The confederation was designed largely to coordinate mutual defense, and gained some importance during King Philip's War.

During the next 74 years, there were six colonial wars that took place primarily between New England and New France see the French and Indian Wars as well as Father Rale's War and Father Le Loutre's War. Throughout these wars, New England was allied with the Iroquois Confederacy and New France was allied with the Wabanaki Confederacy. After the New England Conquest of Acadia inmainland Nova Scotia was under the control of New England, but both present-day New Brunswick and virtually all of present-day Maine remained contested territory between New England and New France.

After the British won the war inthe Connecticut River Valley was opened for British settlement into western New Hampshire and what is today Vermont. The New England colonies were settled primarily by farmers who became relatively self-sufficient. Later, New England's economy began to focus on crafts and trade, aided by the Puritan work ethicin contrast to the Southern colonies which focused on agricultural production while importing finished goods from England.

ByKing James II had become concerned about the increasingly independent ways of the colonies, including their self-governing charters, their open flouting of the Navigation Actsand their growing military power.

He therefore established the Dominion of New Englandan administrative union comprising all of the New England colonies. The union was imposed from the outside and contrary to the rooted democratic tradition of the region, and it was highly unpopular among the colonists. The Dominion significantly modified the charters of the colonies, including the appointment of Royal Governors to nearly all of them. There was an uneasy tension between the Royal Governors, their officers, and the elected governing bodies of the colonies.

The governors wanted unlimited authority, and the different layers of locally elected officials would often resist them. In most cases, the local town governments continued operating as self-governing bodies, just as they had before the appointment of the governors. After the Glorious Revolution inBostonians overthrew royal governor Sir Edmund Andros. They seized dominion officials and adherents to the Church of England during a popular and bloodless uprising.

The first battles of the war were fought in Lexington and Concord, Massachusettslater leading to the Siege of Boston by continental troops.

In MarchBritish forces were compelled to retreat from Boston. After the dissolution of the Dominion of New England, the colonies of New England ceased to function as a unified political unit but remained a defined cultural region. Byall of the states in the region had taken steps towards the abolition of slavery, with Vermont and Massachusetts introducing total abolition in andrespectively.

After settling a dispute with New York, Vermont was admitted to statehood informally completing the defined area of New England. On March 15,as part of the Missouri Compromisethe territory of Maine, formerly a part of Massachusetts, was admitted to the Union as a free state. For the rest of the period before the American Civil WarNew England remained distinct from the rest of the United States.

New England's economic growth relied heavily on trade with the British Empire[45] and the region's merchants and politicians strongly opposed trade restrictions. As the United States and the United Kingdom fought the War ofNew England Federalists organized the Hartford Convention in the winter of to discuss the region's grievances concerning the war, and to propose changes to the Constitution to protect the region's interests and maintain its political power.

Politically, the region often disagreed with the rest of the country. The Whigs were usually dominant throughout New England, except in the more Democratic Maine and New Hampshire. Leading statesmen hailed from the region, including Daniel Webster. New England was distinct in other ways, as well. Many notable literary and intellectual figures were New Englanders, produced by the United States before the American Civil War, including Ralph Waldo EmersonHenry David ThoreauNathaniel HawthorneHenry Wadsworth LongfellowJohn Greenleaf WhittierGeorge Bancroftand William H.

New England was key to the industrial revolution in the United States. Technological developments and achievements from the Manufactory led to the development of more advanced cotton mills, including Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Towns such as Lawrence and Lowell in Massachusetts, Woonsocket in Rhode Island, and Lewiston in Maine became centers of the textile industry following the innovations at Slater Mill and the Beverly Cotton Manufactory. The Connecticut River Valley - and in particular the Springfield Armory - became a crucible for industrial innovation, pioneering such advances as interchangeable parts and the assembly linewhich influenced manufacturing processes all around the world.

The rapid growth of textile manufacturing in New England between and caused a shortage of workers. Recruiters were hired by mill agents to bring young women and children from the countryside to work in the factories. Between andthousands of farm girls moved from rural areas where there was no paid employment to work in the nearby mills, such as the famous Lowell Mill Girls. As the textile industry grew, immigration also grew.

By the s, immigrants began working in the mills, especially Irish and French Canadians. New England, as a whole, was the most industrialized part of the young U. During the same period, New England and areas settled by New Englanders upstate New York, Ohio's Western Reserveand the upper midwestern states of Michigan and Wisconsin were the center of the strongest abolitionist and anti-slavery movements in the United States, coinciding with the Protestant Great Awakening in the region.

So too did anti-slavery politicians who wanted to limit the growth of slavery, such as John Quincy AdamsCharles Sumnerand John P. When the anti-slavery Republican Party was formed in the s, all of New England, including areas that had previously been strongholds for both the Whig and the Democratic Parties, became strongly Republican. New England remained solidly Republican until Catholics began to mobilize behind the Democrats, especially inand up until the Republican party realigned its politics in a shift known as the Southern strategy.

This led to the end of "Yankee Republicanism" and began New England's relatively swift transition into a consistently Democratic stronghold. The flow of immigrants continued at a steady pace from the s until cut off by World War I. The largest numbers came from Ireland and Britain beforeand after that from Quebec, Italy and Southern Europe.

The immigrants filled the ranks of factory workers, craftsmen and unskilled laborers. The Irish assumed a larger and larger role in the Democratic Parts in the cities and statewide, while the rural areas remained Republican. Yankees left the farms, which never were highly productive; many headed west, while others became professionals and businessmen in the New England cities.

The Great Depression in the United States of the s hit the region hard, with high unemployment in the industrial cities. The Democrats appealed to factory workers and especially Catholics, pulling them into the New Deal coalition and making the once-Republican region into one that was closely divided.

However the enormous spending on munitions, ships, electronics, and uniforms during World War II caused a burst of prosperity in every sector. The region lost most of its factories starting with the loss of textiles in the s and getting worse after The New England economy was radically transformed after World War II.

The factory economy practically disappeared. Like urban centers in the Rust Beltonce-bustling New England communities fell into economic decay following the flight of the region's industrial base.

The textile mills one by one went out of business from the s to the s. For example, the Crompton Company, after years in business, went bankrupt incosting the jobs of 2, workers in five states. The major reasons were cheap imports, the strong dollar, declining exports, and a failure to diversify. What remains is very high technology manufacturing, such as jet engines, nuclear submarines, pharmaceuticals, robotics, scientific instruments, and medical devices.

MIT the Massachusetts Institute of Technology invented the format for university-industry relations in high tech fields, and spawned many software and hardware firms, some of which grew rapidly. Some industrial areas were slow in adjusting to the new service economy. InNew England had two of the ten poorest cities by percentage living below the poverty line in the U.
