3 types of colonies in the new world
In the New World (the Americas), European colonies were generally divided into three main types based on their economic and social structures: Corporate Colonies - Established and run by joint-stock companies (private investors granted charters by the crown). - Example: The Virginia Colony (Jamestown, founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company). Proprietary Colonies - Owned and governed by an individual or group (proprietors) granted land by the monarchy. - Example: Pennsylvania (founded by William Penn in 1681) and Maryland (granted to Lord Baltimore in 1632). Royal Colonies (Crown Colonies) - Directly controlled by the British monarchy through appointed governors. - Example: Virginia (after 1624, when the king revoked the Virginia Company's charter) and New York (after 1685). These distinctions affected governance, land distribution, and economic policies in the colonies. Over time, many proprietary and corporate colonies became royal colonies as the British Crown sought greater control. Would you like details on a specific colony?
