Mid-Atlantic Colonies’ settlement• Middle Colonies include: New Amsterdam/New York, New

Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware• The middle colonies were more diverse than the New

England or Southern colonies• Some small farms, and a few cities• Less united than the New England colonies • More culturally diverse, and more religious tolerance. Industrial and agricultural society. They produced iron, paper, and textiles and grew wheat and other grains

Settlement of New Amsterdam• New Netherland was

originally settled by the Dutch (from the Netherlands), but in 1664 the British conquered the area and renamed it New York. New York had a diverse population and was a large trade center. Because the British encouraged the Dutch to stay, New York tolerated different religious beliefs.

• New Amsterdam is now known as New York City.

Settlement of Pennsylvania• Located between New England and

Virginia• William Penn received the land from

King Charles because King Charles owed a debt to Penn’s father. The King was not entirely happy about paying the debt this way because he knew Penn was a Quaker and the king had banned and persecuted Quakers.

• Quakers believe in pacifism and people having their own inner-light from God meaning they had no need for churches or ministers.

• Quakers did not believe in participating in government or even paying taxes.

Settlement of Pennsylvania, cont.• Pennsylvania (Penn’s

woods) was named after William Penn’s father (also William Penn)

• Pennsylvania had complete political and religious freedom. Penn also believed there needed to be a friendship with the Native Americans and did this by signing the Treaty of Shackamaxon, causing over 70 years of peace between the settlers and the Native Americans.

• Penn opened up land in Pennsylvania to anyone who wanted to settle there, bringing thousands.

French Settlement of Quebec• Founded in 1608• Quebec was the first

permanent French settlement in North America.

• The French colonists, primarily Jesuit priests, were to spread the Catholic faith in the New World.

• The other French colonists were primarily fur traders and lived among the Native Americans that they traded with.

Southern Colonies• Location: Below the Mason-

Dixon Line. Includes: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia

• Transportation: Imports and exports were by ship primarily to England, including trans-Atlantic slave trade

• Economic Development: Almost solely agricultural society, they grew rice, tobacco, and indigo
