Explanation:

The question asks for characteristics of different regions in the 1600s in the "New World", including relationships with Native Americans, settlers' motives, and social - economic systems. For Chesapeake, it was settled by a joint - stock company with figures like John Rolfe and had a more individualistic approach. New England was settled by the 1620 Pilgrims. The Spanish Southwest had motives like seeking gold and religious conversions, with systems like the Encomienda and use of native labor. We need to fill in details for New York and New France. New York and New France were areas of French and Dutch (later English) settlement. The French had a focus on the fur trade, and had relatively more amicable relations with Native Americans compared to some other settlers. They also established trading posts and had a system of alliances with Native American tribes for the fur - trade business.

Answer:

• Fur - trade focus
• Relatively good relations with Native Americans for trade
• Establishment of trading posts and alliances with tribes for fur - trade
