What was one of the significant effects geography had on the British colonies leading into the eighteenth century?
a. Mountainous terrain and other geographical barriers such as rivers made it so that the English colonies would be highly spread apart from one another and, thus, ensured that Puritans would have control of the full length of the east coast.
b. Much like the land that had been claimed by the Spanish, the sprawling land claimed by the English was best suited to the control of vast estates by wealthy men who intended to return to Europe eventually.
c. The small swath of land to which the English colonists had access at that point in time stifled innovation and allowed British rulers to monitor them more closely than French and Spanish rulers had ever controlled their colonists.
d. The ocean separated the "old" and "new" worlds in such a way that new ideas about political liberties and economic freedom were better able to develop and emerge in the colonies in the eighteenth century.
e. The fact that the British colonies were so far north and had such brutal winter weather greatly limited the number of nationalities and religions willing to migrate there, causing the French and Spanish colonies to prove far more diverse.
