Explanation:

The Middle Colonies refer to the British North American colonies located between the New England and South colonies. The Middle Colonies were situated on very fertile soil and because of their more southern location the growing season was longer. They became so productive they were called the Bread Basket Colonies. The New England colonies, on the other hand, had rocky soil and a shorter growing season.

Backcountry colonists, which lived far from towns and other settlements, had to be self-sufficient. They grew their own foods and depended little on outside goods, so nearly everything they needed was made at home. On the other hand, plantation owners produced crops for sale,  and they acquired the goods they needed with the proceedings from their plantation.

The Mayflower Compact was the first written government document created by the Pilgrims who emigrated from England to North America in 1620. Travelling in the Mayflower, the Pilgrims were headed towards Virginia, but drifted northwards and landed further north on Cape Cod. Recognizing the need for the rule of law in the new colony, the Pilgrims drafted the Mayflower Compact to establish the basic set of rules that would govern the colony. They document states that the members of the colony would meet from time to time to create the needed laws to govern it, therefore becoming an early version of citizen's rights.

The Pilgrims were a group of English Puritans that in 1620 sailed from the British isles towards North America. They moved to the New World seeking religious freedom, because having separated from the Church of England in 1605, Puritans were prosecuted by English religious officials.
