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

Georgia on my Mind** Georgia is formed by James Oglethorpe

and becomes a refuge for debtors and a military outpost against Florida

After an Unsuccessful takeover attempt by Spain Georgia English, Swiss, German and Scottish settlers came to the colony

After James Oglethorpe set strict rules for the colony, the king of England made it a Royal Colony
