Detailed explanation-1: -The Middle colonies attracted a diverse group of European migrants, including Germans, Scots-Irish, French, and Swedish families, along with English migrants.
Detailed explanation-2: -These people came because of what the colonies had to offer. They realized the middle colonies gave generous land grants and supported religious tolerance. They also wanted money, and the middle colonies had fertile soil and a pleasant climate, perfect for farming.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the largest immigrant groups in the region, after the English, was the Germans. Many of the Germans arrived between 1710 and 1740. Most came as indentured servants fleeing religious intolerance. Known for their skillful farming, these immi-grants soon made a mark on the Middle Colonies.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Middle Colonies-New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania-created a unique environment of early settlement by non-English Europeans, mostly Dutch and German.
