Stuck in the Middle with you New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania make up the Middle Colonies Swedes, Dutch, English, Germans, and Africans came to the colonies Protestants, Catholics, Quakers, and Jews all came to the colonies The Valleys had rich soil and mild winters perfect for Farming and Livestock

Start Spreading the News The Dutch Settle New Netherland and use the Patroon System to increase the populations by offering land grants and Special rights Under Peter Stuyvesant New Netherland grew by attacking and taking over New Sweden England, Under the Duke of York, looked to kick the Dutch out of the New Netherlands to Expand Territory With No help from the Netherlands, the Dutch give up their settlement and New York becomes a Proprietary Colony

Earth Quakers The Duke of York becomes the Largest Landowner in America and Gives land to form New Jersey while offering religious freedom William Penn Joins the Quakers and is given land that would become Pennsylvania

Penn Station Penn Creates a colony where all religions could live in harmony without fear of abuse Penn also granted freedom to the Native Americans Pennsylvania becomes a wealthy colony and Penn Grants part of his land to form the Delaware colonies

And then came the Orioles The Southern Colonies of Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia are formed in a climate ideal for Tobacco, Rice, and Indigo Maryland is formed by Lord Baltimore and Becomes a Tobacco Producing Colony Most Laborers were servants and slaves making it hard to attract women to Maryland

Sweet Carolina The Carolinas are created and become a place of religious freedom The use of slaves, including Native Americans, to farm land leads to wars against the Native Americans When the owners of Carolina would not send help to fight the Spanish, Carolina would become a Royal Colony The colony would be divided into North and South Carolina and would be ruled by governors
