Mid-Atlantic Colonies’ settlement
• Middle Colonies include: New Amsterdam/New York, New

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.
New England Colonies
• Location: North Eastern
corner of the US. Consists of
Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Connecticut,
and Rhode Island
• Transportation: Imports and
exports were by ship primarily
to England, primary exports
were agriculture and fish
• Economic Development:
primarily farming and fishing
communities who grew much
of their own food. Anything
extra was shipped to
England. They made most of
their own clothing. Boston
was the major seaport.
