Detailed explanation-3: -The New England colonies were founded to escape religious persecution in England. The Middle colonies, like Delaware, New York, and New Jersey, were founded as trade centers, while Pennsylvania was founded as a safe haven for Quakers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The New England colonies had very harsh winters and mild summers. This made the growing season only about five months long.
