Discuss the major differences between the New Netherland (New York) and Pennsylvania colonies.

New Netherlands: Population
- Dutch, Germans, Scandinavians, French, African Americans (both free and enslaved), and Europeans lived in this area.
- One-fifth of New Netherland's population could be traced to African ancestry.
- Believed in equality, cooperation, and religious tolerance.
-The Dutch did partake in fights with the Natives for land and trade.

Pennsylvania: Population
- Quakers were harrassed by Anglicans and Puritans for believing in Gods "inner light".
- People were friendly towards everyone they met. Expecting the same respect in return.
- At first, many people weren't coming to the new colony. As a solution, Penn brought in different immigrants from all over western Europe to help create a profitable colony.
- Thousands of Germans brought craft and farming skills.
- The colony included traders, farmers, builders, and immigrants.
- Unlike Penn's wishes, Quakers owned slaves.
