Colonial State
If I had to choose a colonies to live in Colonial America in the eighteenth century I would choose the Middle Colonies. They were a people of diverse ancestry, with many from German, Scotland and Ireland. The middle colonies were known for being a land of farmers and artisans, thus it provides great opportunity to multitudes of people. This Mecca of industry gave hope for a better tomorrow for the thousands of immigrants coming in through Pennsylvania. The bustling industry of flour mills would provide multiple job opportunities, and the diverse culture would be a fun place to live in a time of cultural differences. The flour industry is what really puts the middle colonies in the spotlight, they provided trading and made the area gain the title of being the "breadbasket" of the colonies. This area provided sustenance for the thousands of people living on the soil of the various colonies. Also the ability to escape the religious persecution, tyranny of landlords, and droughts, made the middle colonies a haven for the immigrants. This area quickly became known as "the best poor Man's Country in the World" and that is partially wonderful because that is still the sort of idea people have for modern America.
