A disagreement over land between the Native Americans and the colonists led to King Philip’s War. New England colonists relied heavily on imports from England. Imports are goods brought into a country. The Frame of Government of Pennsylvania is a primary source document example of self-government in the Middle Colonies. Philadelphia’s location was important for trade in the Middle colonies because it was on a good, navigable river. The population for the Middle colonies had a great deal of diversity, or differences in backgrounds of people. People in the Middle Colonies became artisans by training as apprentices. Ben Franklin, in fact, was an apprentice. Colonists traveled on the Great Wagon Road to get to the Piedmont. Most enslaved Africans worked in the Southern Colonies on plantations. The Calverts established the colony of Maryland to provide a safe place for Catholics. Boston, Massachusetts; Savannah, Georgia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Wilmington, Delaware were important cities in the colonies. England’s trade rules for the New England Colonies were strict. Exports could be sent only to other English colonies for to England. Colonists were supposed to buy imports only from England. An effect of the Great Awakening was that it renewed interest in religion. Massachusetts Puritans tried to create a “city upon a hill”. They wanted their colony to be an example of Christian living. They set up their system of government based on their religious beliefs and set up schools to teach people to read the Bible. They opposed any dissent to their common beliefs. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson had similar experiences in New England. The leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony did not tolerate any disagreement with their religious views. Some people, like Williams and Hutchinson, had to leave the colony in order to worship inn their own way. Their supporters followed them, and together they started a new settlement. Slavery developed differently in New England, Middle and Southern Colonies. Enslaved Africans arrived in New England to be sold as workers. However, in time, some people in New England came to oppose slavery. In the Middle Colonies, there were enslaved people, but many African Americans lived and worked freely. In the Southern Colonies, plantations came to depend on enslaved Africans to do most of the work. .
