A key difference was their organisational structure. The French instituted a very centralised system, where laws passed in Paris contolled the colonies. The British on the other hand insituted a less authoritarian, decentralised system, where a given colony would be allowed a certain degree of discretion to act.

The Southern colonies were dominated by agriculture, with tobacco being grown in the Chesapeake Region and rice and indigo further south. These large plantations required many workers so slavery was used much more in the Southern colonies. The North was agricultural as well, but had some industry with ship building, rum running, iron works, and trade. Thus, not as many slaves were needed there. So because of the different environments of the North and South, more slaves were need in the Southern colonies than in the Northern.

the southern colonies needed slaves for their large plantations where in the New England colonies the colonists there protested that slavery was unfair.

There was a very big difference. The North had them work in inns and shops while the South had them work on big plantations. The North treated the slaves better too.

What is zone of the enders?

Zone of the enders is a PlayStation 2 game where there are really big hi-tech robots that is given the name "Orbital frame". The game is based in the future where near Jupiter, there is a gigantic place built there called "Antilia". Soon enough, on antilia, 3 people named Elena Weinburg, Rock Thunderheart and "Alan" created 2 orbital frames named "Jehuty" and "Anubis". As soon as a team named Bahram found out about these two awsome orbital frames, they made there own unmanned orbital frames conrolled by someone called "Axe", who you wil defeat in the game later. Bahram tried to steal these two orbital frames but could only retreive 1, since a boy named Leo Stenbuck accidently ran into Jehuty while trying to escape and piloted Jehuty, with some help of an intelegent comuter given the name ADA that can understand human language. Now Bahram have to take it of him by force. Battle your way through the coliny. I have this game and the sequal. The 1st one is really good, but the 2nd one isn't really the same, but still, you get the gameplay of Jehuty. I hope this information i provided helped.
