Why you should settle in the Middle Colonies?

From Delaware to New Jersey, New York to Pennsylvania, there is this wonderfully diverse colony. This is the place you will want to get married, have children, and basically grow old in. This is the bread basket colony . This is the Middle colonies. This is the Quaker land, where you can randomly give complete strangers a ride. The Middle Colonies have rich soil, thus letting the region become a major exporter of wheat and other grains. Lumber and shipbuilding industries are very successful in the Middle Colonies. Again, the Middle Colonies are the most ethnically diverse British colonies in North America. Settlers come from all parts of Europe. Everyone had rights and religious freedom. This is very important because religious freedom is nothing but a joke to Great Britain.
We have also support political freedom. The Middle Colonies are generally ran by Royal and elected Colonial Assemblies. However, many constitutions guaranteed freedom of religion and prevented taxation without representation. This just means you don’t have to worry. Studies show only 1 out of 20 would ever go back to Britain’s controlling ways.
When you faced with a choice to either live or die which would you choose? Don’t live in fear of saying the wrong thing. Don’t live in fear of losing your jobs. Fear is not a pretty color. Fear makes you weak and stupid. Make the change you will be proud of. One you will look back and say I did the right thing not did I do the right thing. It’s up to you so what do you want to

    During the seventh century, Europeans established colonies in North America. The English colonies were originally established because proprietors from England were granted charters to settle and govern lands. Other European colonies were established around trading posts. Over time, the English gained control of the thirteen colonies through force or purchase; eventually, by regions were known as the Southern, Middle and New England colonies. Although the colonies were under the control of the English and had many commonalities, each region created a distinct culture. These similarities and differences can be evidenced when comparing the role of African Americans, a role of women, and types of settlers of the Middle colonies and The Southern…

    The New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by English colonists. Most colonists moving from Great Britain to New England were families searching for religious salvation, rather than mostly the single men that traveled to the Chesapeake area in search of wealth. The immigrants of the Chesapeake area were greeted with a climate and soil that were perfect for cultivating tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. Those settling in New England could not rely on farming to support themselves because of the rocky soil in the north. While the majority of the Chesapeake colonists were not as cohesive due to the great distance from farms to these towns, New England had close-knit church events, meetings, and schools. Although, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by people at English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies because of motives, environment, and towns/communities.…
