Colonies Essay

By the 17th century, the thirteen American colonies, like the rest of the world, were establishing and developing. These colonies were classified into three regions known as, the New England colonies, the middle colonies, and the southern colonies. The middle colonies consisting of New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania had a blend of characteristics being geographically encompassed by the New England and southern colonies. Despite THE FACT THAT THERE WERE THREE DISTICNT COLONIAL REGIONS TO CHOOSE FROM the middle colonies were the greatest region to live in because of its relationship with Natives (1), the diverse and just society (2), and its resources and economic advantages that led to the regions success (3).

New York was originally settled in 1624 by the Dutch as New Netherlands. The colony differed from many other British colonies because of its diversity. Germans, French, Dutch, Jews, Scandinavians, and Africans all made their way to live in the settlement. Roughly 20% of the population of New Netherlands was African opposed to other Africans, like those in the south who were enslaved by plantation owners. New Netherlands eventually was taken over by the British and renamed “New York” after the Duke of York (Danzer, Klor de Alva, Krieger, Wilson & Woloch 45) or (Danzer et al. 45).
