Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Les peuples amérindiens du sud de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. La Nouvelle-Angleterre est peut-être, parmi les grandes régions américaines, celle qui est la mieux définie, avec son homogénéité culturelle et son héritage historique commun. Elle tient une place majeure dans l'histoire des États-Unis. De la fin du XVIIIe siècle au milieu du XIXe siècle, elle domine le pays en matière de politique et de culture, et elle est au cœur de son économie. Les premiers colons européens de la Nouvelle-Angleterre étaient des puritains anglais en quête de liberté religieuse. Avec le temps, de nombreux habitants ont émigré vers l'ouest. La Nouvelle-Angleterre est tournée depuis le XVIIe siècle vers l'océan Atlantique : elle se trouve plus près de l'Europe occidentale que New York et profite de cet avantage jusqu'à l'avènement de la marine à vapeur et du percement du canal Érié.
