Answer:

They also wanted money, and the middle colonies had fertile soil and a pleasant climate, perfect for farming. People were tired of being poor and persecuted for their beliefs. All of this made people decide to settle in the middle colonies. The English created New York and New Jersey from former Dutch territory.
