Option 1 - Jamestown colonists go there instead of Chesapeake




Option 2 - Plymouth separatists and later Puritans go there instead of Dutch

(maybe Mayflower comes on time to Manhattan but Dutch were not there, or Separatists land in New Amsterdam and English Puritans take over New Netherlands within a decade)

What are the most probable effects of Option 1 - an Anglo-America with southern culture dominating everything west of the Hudson?
The English managing native relations worse than the Dutch and Iroquois wipe them out? What of the Chesapeake? settled by Dutch, the Englo-Barbadians who went to South Carolina in OTL?

In option 2, do we see New England culture dominate the middle colonies? Or do they end up in an unwinnable fight w/ Iroquois? What of Cape Cod and Massachussetts Bay?
