The middle colonies differed from the New England and southern colonies in their demographics, religious diversity, mixed economy, and often complicated relationships with Native American tribes and European powers. Greater religious toleration and a mixed economy of farming and trading marked the middle colonies. In contrast, New England was primarily Puritan with a mixed economy, and the southern colonies were Anglican, with an agriculture-based economy.
People in the middle colonies were different from those in the New England and southern colonies due to their geographical location, religious beliefs, social structure, economic activities, and relations with Native American tribes and other Europeans. The middle colonies, primarily New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania had diverse populations, which included a mix of Europeans and enslaved Africans, not to mention the existing Native American tribes. The religious beliefs were also more diverse here, with greater religious toleration.
The economy of the middle colonies was largely based on a combination of farming and trading. This contributed to the social diversity of these colonies, with both large landowners and small farmers, as well as a significant population involved in trade and crafts. In contrast, the New England colonies were predominantly Puritan, with a mixed economy of agriculture and trades, and the southern colonies were mainly Anglican with an economy dominated by large-scale agriculture, particularly of tobacco and cotton, often run by enslaved Africans.
The relationship with Native American tribes and European powers also varied. The middle colonies were often a 'middle ground' where various groups interacted, and there were divisions among the population based on loyalty towards the British during the American Revolution. In contrast, relationships were often strained in the New England and southern colonies, leading to conflicts such as King Philip's War.
