Answer:

The Middle Colonies were the most ethnically and religiously diverse of the thirteen original colonies so they were called a melting pot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Old World, many people were persecuted for not believing the religion that was accepted. So they fled to the middle colonies who accepted them . The religions that was incorporated into the colonies were as follows: Quaker, German Lutherans, German Reformed, Mennonites, Amish, Moravians, Scotch Irish Presbyterians, and the Dutch Reformed . The middle colonies consisted of 4 colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware . The middle colonies had great farming opportunities and many jobs available that attracted immigrants from the Old World . The main "attraction" was how religiously tolerant were the colonists from the middle colonies . This vast migration of immigrants caused a big impact in the United States . It added different cultures that would later form into new ones and it caused even more immigrants to come to the Americas.
