While white colonists in New England came mostly from England, the Middle Colonies were more diverse. They attracted people from many different European backgrounds: Dutch, Scot-Irish, Scandinavian, German and French. Colonists practiced many different religions. There were Quakers, Lutherans, Mennonites, Presbyterians and Jews. Some people who came to the Middle Colonies didn’t bring their families from Europe. They worked in the region’s factories and shipyards. There were also African slaves in the Middle colonies. They had jobs like laborer, servant, driver and sailor but were not paid. Based on the passage, a “diverse” country would likely contain

A
