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

    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.
