How was Virginia culture different from British culture?

In the early years of the Virginia Colony, the existing culture would have been heavily influenced by British culture—whether in similarities or differences. In England, there was an established economy, a host of societal norms, and a Church of England. All of these things were demanded by members of society. In many ways, these certain standards of culture that existed in England were why many of the settlers in the New World left England in the first place. 
Similarities to England included how Virginia was originally organized. They had officials, religious authorities, civil law, and so on—all of which would have been present in the culture of England. In addition, early settlements included the basic services that England had—as in any Western culture at the time—such as bakers, blacksmiths, and textile workers. 
Differences included the more rural nature of the Virginia colony. Virginia was much less developed than many of the urban areas some of the settlers came from. In addition, many came to Virginia (and the new world as a whole) in order to practice religion separate from the Church of England. This, combined with the more agrarian society, led to an attitude shift that caused the Virginians to be more self-reliant and independent. Economically, Virginia relied less on shipments from England as time went on and eventually grew apart from England over time. Additionally, those who were born in Virginia would have had progressively less association with the country of their parents and grandparents, furthering the differences between the two places.
