The middle colonies were founded for farming and for a center of trade. Parts of the middle Colonies were founded on the basis on Religious free by groups like the Quakers. William Penn was a prominent Quaker who was responsible for helping to found the Middle Colonies. The middle colonies represented a diverse group of colonist, while the south represented mostly catholics, and the north represented mostly separatists.
