New England n n n Cattle Fishing Shipbuilding Timber Whaling n n Life was not easy – the roughest of all colonies Most people were subsistence farmers: a farm where the people produce only what they need to survive (subsist) - and everything they need to survive.
Most people worked together, and settled together in small towns – and many of these towns are still there today
Many of the original buildings, farms, walls, etc… are still there today

The Middle Colonies n n n n Cattle Fish Furs Iron Pigs Sheep Timber Wheat Crops grown to sell and make money from n n n “fair cities, substantial villages, extensive fields… decent houses, good roads, orchards, meadows, and bridges. ” Very productive land. Soon crowded out Native Americans (who had lived there for thousands of years). Had a long growing season, and enough good soil to grow fruits, vegetables, and grains – cash crop farming. The Middle Colonies grew so much grain, they were able to send it to other colonies, and were even sometimes called “the breadbasket of the colonies. ”
Cities in the Middle Colonies n Grew a lot because they were near the coast (easy to get to) and because they had deep harbors (good for big ships)
Philadelphia was the colonies 1 st large city (even had paved streets and streetlights) n And of course… N. Y. C. also grew quickly
Colonial New York City
Page 117 in your book shows many of the immigrant groups from the 1700’s n 2 in 5 were English n n n 1 in 5 was German A lot were farmers Many were good craftsmen and artisans (English and German were the two main languages in the colonies)
With so many different immigrant groups – and religious groups, you might think people didn’t get along together (“Gangs of N. Y. ”) n n But they did. They were usually very tolerant of differences.
There was slavery in the Middle Colonies n n n Many slaves lived in cities early in middle colonial history (not on plantations). New York City had the most. But… sometimes they’d get upset to the point where there would be rebellions and violence. It could be said, in fact, that from the time of the Dutch, when it was called New Amsterdam, virtually until the end of the American Revolution, New York City was the slavery capital of Colonial America.
Today’s essential question: Why is “where” important? Where would you have wanted to settle in colonial times, and why?
