How did Massachusetts differ from England’s southern colonies?

Immigration to Massachusetts differed from immigration to the Chesapeake and to South Carolina. Most newcomers to Massachusetts arrived with their families. Whereas 84% of Virginia's white population in 1625 was male, Massachusetts had a normal gender balance in its population from the beginning. The result was a rapid natural increase in population. Further, the population of Massachusetts quickly became more "American" than the population of southern or Caribbean colonies, whose survival depended on a steady flow of English immigrants and slaves to counter high mortality rates. Massachusetts was also more homogenous and less hierarchical than the southern colonies. Source: Ch.17 The Earth and its Peoples 6th Ed. :)
