This learning resource explores the factors that led colonists to leave New England for the Middle Colonies. It highlights the geographical challenges faced in New England, such as thin, rocky soil and harsh winters, which impeded farming. The text argues that these conditions pushed many families to seek better opportunities in the Middle Colonies, known for their fertile land and milder climate, which supported larger-scale agriculture. Additionally, the document emphasizes the more welcoming environment of religious tolerance in the Middle Colonies compared to the rigid social structures in New England, thereby underscoring colonists' pursuit of a better life and long-term survival.
