New York In 1644, an English sea captain captured the Dutch colony of New Netherland, in what became New York; New Amsterdam became New York City Friction developed between the Dutch that remained and the English that now had control Originally ruled by a military governor, Sir Edmund Andros, who set up all of the rules of law To attract new settlers and please English merchants, the Duke had to give in and allow the creation of a general assembly that was elected

Pennsylvania Designed as a “holy experiment” for Quakers by William Penn Penn took an old debt owed to his father by Charles II and received a charter from the king for a proprietary colony named for his father It was the best planned colony; Penn’s First Frame of Government was written in 1682; a council of 72 men was to be elected

Pennsylvania Quakers entered Pennsylvania unarmed; friendly relations with local Indians were important Capital punishment banned except for murder; granted religious freedom, trial by jury and habeas corpus Penn advertised throughout Europe that he offered religious freedom and rich farmland. His city, Philadelphia, grew quickly. It was the largest city in America by with 32,000

Quakers Made other Christians angry because of their beliefs
Believed that God, in the form of the Inner Light, is present in all people. People could become good by letting their light shine through. Believed in pacifism. This angered Catholics and other Protestants who had found ways to justify war Slavery made them uncomfortable, and they would later become abolitionists
11
Quakers They began “the Lamb’s war” against human pride. Refused to doff their hats to social superiors Refused to accept or give titles; referred to everyone as “thee” or “thou” Held weekly meetings with no clergy; people spoke when the Light inspired them. Women enjoyed almost full equality Treated their children with affection

Middle Colonies Location, plus rich resources, helped the Middle Colonies to have the most prosperous family farms The most diverse colonies from the beginning and after 1720 became more diverse with new immigrants from Ireland and Germany Many immigrant families arrived as indentured servants By 1760 had the two largest cities, Philadelphia and New York
