The portrait of life in New England plays out in stark contrast to life in the Southern colonies primarily because New England is settled by family groups. Although birth rates and life expectancy are generally high, women settlers find themselves in a wilderness that is full of uncertainties. The community plays a dominant role in the lives of the families sheltered within its borders. Marriage is a social obligation that contributes to the stability of the community, the family a place where people learn to be citizens and function in hierarchical settings.
