Detailed explanation-1: -People from all across Europe came to the Middle Colonies due to the religious and political freedom, and the Colonies lacked a single dominant ethnic or religious group, and thus the Colonists learned to tolerate their differences.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike solidly Puritan New England, the middle colonies presented an assortment of religions. The presence of Quakers, Mennonites, Lutherans, Dutch Calvinists, and Presbyterians made the dominance of one faith next to impossible. The middle colonies included Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Middle Colonies were the most ethnically and religiously diverse British colonies in North America with settlers from England, Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and German states. Farm land was both productive and much less expensive than in Europe.
Detailed explanation-4: -Over time, cities grew and urban merchants sold and traded goods with people throughout the other colonies. Compared to other regions, the people of the middle colonies supported religious freedom and tolerance and had a diverse population with settlers arriving from many areas in Europe.
