After 1680 England ceased to bethe chief source of immigration, supplanted by Scots and \"Scots-Irish\" (Protestants from Northern Ireland) . In addition, tens of thousands of refugees fled northwestern Europe to escape war, oppression, and absentee-landlordism. By 1690 the American population had risen to a quarter of a million. From then on, it doubled every 25 years until, in 1775, it numbered more than 2.5 million. Although families occasionally moved from one colony to another, distinctions between individual colonies were marked. They were even more so among the three regional groupings of colonies.  \nQuestions  \n1.

Turning to other pursuits, the New Englanders harnessed waterpower and established grain mills and sawmills. Good stands of timber encouraged shipbuilding. Excellent harbors promoted trade, and the sea became a source of great wealth. In Massachusetts, the cod industry alone quickly furnished a basis for prosperity.  \nWith the bulk of the early settlers living in villages and towns around the harbors, many New Englanders carried on some kind of trade or business.
