“The existence of [colonial] subregions leads us to another question: whether the Middle Colonies in fact represented a coherent region at all. . . . In important respects, the Middle Colonies can be divided into separate societies focused around the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Thus the economies of [New York] and northern New Jersey were tied closely to that of New York City, while those of southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and northern Delaware were linked to Philadelphia. Those areas grew at very different rates, and they possessed quite distinct characteristics. . . . “Nonetheless, the Middle Colonies did share a number of things. One was their geography, a combination of climate and topography and setting, which determined some of the ways the land could be put to use, its accessibility to both intra-regional and international commerce, and its strategic importance in imperial competition. It was a region organized around extensive inland waterways, which gave merchants an almost unparalleled access to the American interior, building upon trade routes that pre-dated European settlement. . . . “Perhaps the most important argument for the coherence of the mid-Atlantic as a region is the extent to which those colonies shared a common history. . . . “The most often-noted characteristic of the region was the diversity of its peoples. . . . The society of the Middle Colonies surely was ‘America’s first plural society.’ . . . There were two principal sources of the growing diversity of the European settlements. One was historical: New York, New Jersey, and Delaware were all conquered colonies, with Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and many other populations already resident at the time of English conquest. The other was the consolidation that occurred as the colonies of six European nations along the Atlantic coast in the early seventeenth century were reduced to two by century’s end, those of [Protestant] England and those of [Catholic] France. The result was that [diverse] European Protestants heading for the New World were concentrated within English colonies, a situation that virtually mandated some form of toleration. . . . Toleration and pluralism, it turns out, were not based solely on enlightened benevolence.” Ned C. Landsman, historian, Crossroads of Empire: The Middle Colonies in British North America, published in 2010 Which of the following best describes Landman's argument in the last paragraph of the excerpt?

Toleration of religious groups in the Middle Colonies was made a necessity because of patterns of migration

English conquests in the Middle Colonies were harsher than the conquests of other European empires in the Americas

the spread of Enlightenment values was the main reason that pluralism developed in the Middle Colonies

The French colonies in North American and the Middle Colonies had very similar settler populations

received European immigrants who practiced a variety of religions

“[In Virginia] the Negroes live in small cottages called quarters . . . under the direction of an overseer, who takes care that they tend such land as the owner allots and orders. . . . Their greatest hardship [is] consisting in that they and their posterity are not at their own liberty or disposal, but the property of their owners. . . .

producing sugar in the Caribbean

“The English colonies in America . . . are become very considerable for their numbers, their wealth, and the extent of their settlements . . . and are not only able to maintain their ground against the Indians, but make considerable conquests upon them, in the inland parts of the continent . . . “The English colonies . . . are not only much more numerous, but more united, better instructed, and nearer to sources of supply . . . and the French, not being able to supply their colonies with provisions and other necessaries, so cheap as the English can do, must be at greater expense in supporting them.” “The French are very sensible of the growing power of the English in America, and have been taking all possible methods to prevent their further increase . . .” William Douglass, A Summary, Historical and Political, of the First Planting, Progressive Improvements, and Present State of the British Settlements in North America, 1749 The excerpt most directly reflects which of the following developments in the mid-1700s?

The southern colonies developed a mixed economy based on agriculture and trade.

The southern colonies relied heavily on the fur trade with Native Americans.

The southern colonies developed an industrial economy based on manufacturing.

The southern colonies relied heavily on the fishing and whaling industries.

“The relationship between the English colonists and the Native Americans was complex and often fraught with conflict. While some colonists sought to establish peaceful relations with the Native Americans, others viewed them as obstacles to their colonial ambitions. This led to a series of conflicts and wars that had a profound impact on the development of the colonies.” Which of the following best describes the impact of these conflicts on the development of the English colonies?

The conflicts led to the displacement and decimation of many Native American tribes, opening up more land for colonial expansion.

The conflicts led to the establishment of a series of treaties that ensured peaceful coexistence between the colonists and the Native Americans.

The conflicts led to the colonists abandoning their colonial ambitions and returning to England.

The conflicts led to the Native Americans successfully driving the colonists out of North America.
