All of the following conclusions may be drawn about community settlement patterns in the New England and Southern colonies EXCEPT

New England communities were more densely populated than Southern communities; economic emphasis on agriculture in the South resulted in more farmland occupied by each family.
Southern communities were more decentralized than New England communities; New England communities tended to develop around a town meeting hall, which was used for social, political, and religious functions.
Southern communities had populations of enslaved people comparable to those in New England; both the New England and Southern colonies relied on enslaved labor for agricultural production.
New England and Southern communities attempted to develop settlements in geographic locations that met their needs; both the New England and Southern colonies built near fresh water and trade routes.
