The Farms and towns of New England

• Life was not easy for the colonists, the
  seasons were short and the soil was rocky. Most
  English lived near a town, so they could sell
  land to people there or go into town to sell
  crops. Usually a cluster of houses surrounded a
  central square where the meeting house was.

Changes in Puritans society

• The early 1700s saw many changes in New
  Englands society. One most important was the
  decline of Puritan religions. The reason was
  competition from other religious groups, the
  Baptists and Anglicans established churches in
  Massachusetts and Connecticut. Political changes
  also weakened the Puritans community.
