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

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. (King James was the Duke of York at the time.) 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 (on Manhattan Island)

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 hosting 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, and often married Native American women.
