Why would you leave your homeland?

What reasons, can you imagine, would lead you to leave your family and friends behind, to go to an unknown land? One with known dangers?

The men, and few women and children, who were the early settlers in the New World did just that. Did they have the same reasons for leaving the "civilized" world behind? What led them to an ultimate adventure? What impact did these reasons for colonizing have on the creation of an independent United States?

Once here, were all settlements basically the same?

These are a few of the questions we will answer in our project - **Comparing the Colonies.**

With members of your group, your task is to research and present information on one aspect of colonial living. This wiki is your group's place to communicate with each other and with me. You will record daily progress updates, add links to videos or websites for your team members to view, and keep track of your deadlines on your team's page.
