Colonial Settlement(1600s-1700s) New England Colonies The colonies of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire were called New England Colonies because they were first settled by England. In addition, these four colonies all began as places where the colonists were free to practice their religion, which they could not do in England because the king of England saw them as a threat to his power. Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware were known as the Middle Colonies because they were located between the New England Colonies and the Southern Colonies. The first colonists in the Middle Colonies were the Dutch, but the English used their powerful navy to force the Dutch to surrender their land to the English. The king then gave the captured land to English nobles to settle.

Colonial Settlement(1600s-1700s) Southern Colonies The Southern Colonies included Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. These colonies are grouped together because they were all originally settled by the English, had rich soil for growing cash crops, and relied on slave labor. There were some differences among the Southern Colonies, however.
