ANALYSis
Religion and Economy Analysis: Because the religion is strictly Puritan, ONLY Puritans(and no other religion) were allowed to live here. The economy was mostly coast-related and building occupations(there was also a bit of agriculture), because they lived by the coast and usually, the New England Colonies had coast-related economies.
Founding Effect Analysis: Since it was founded to separate from the Church of England, only Puritans were allowed to settle, so that made for a strict religion and left out what the other religions had to offer in skills, trade, etc. Also it was made for Puritans that had the exact same belief as the greater status, so then only people who had the same belief about the church could move there.
