Week+7+-+The+Middle+Colonies

=The Middle Colonies=

The Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) contained economic and religious characteristics that were a combination of both the New England and Southern colonies. Women made significant contributions to the economy, attempts at creating a fair and equal colonial society were attempted, and indentured servants were preferred more for labor purposes than were slaves.

Objectives

 * Examine how the English created the colonies of New York and New Jersey from a former Dutch territory.
 * Analyze the influence of William Penn and the Quaker society in the establishment of the Pennsylvania colony.
 * Compare and contrast the political, economic, and social situation of the Middle colonies to that of the New England and Southern colonies.
