Social, Religious and Political Life
Many immigrants from Europe landed on the docks of the middle colonies. Because of the many different nationalities and customs, people had varied and diverse lifestyles. People were from different countries, sometimes spoke different languages, and practiced different varieties of the Christian religion. Therefore, toleration and acceptance of other beliefs and varieties of faith were the norm. Because of the immigrants, large cities (Philadelphia & New York) grew and developed into market towns where different goods and ideas were exchanged and where laws were passed.
