The Middle Colonies were more diverse than colonies in New England and the South. Most of the early settlers depended on the fur trade and on farming for economic survival. The most populous of the Middle colonies was Pennsylvania, other colonies were settled rather haphazardly over the course of the 17th century. Settlers usually organized themselves in small farms spread throughout the colony with a few cities added to the mix.
<span>The Middle Colonies were not as cohesive as the New England colonies because colonists in this region were not united by single religion or code of beliefs.Area dominated by larger farms than N.E., smaller than the S.; still there is an emphasis on subsistence rather than cash crops. Settlement patterns generally revolve around single family farms (around 50 -150 acres). Again you see the predominance of servant (as opposed to slave labor) in the 17th century. [A notable exception is in New York where you see a large number of African Americans in the colony, especially in New York city where blacks are employed in commercial settings and as dockworkers.]<span>The Middle Colonies were settled by different nationalities so there is greater emphasis on religious toleration and cultural diversity. This is especially true in the colony of New York.</span></span>

Answer:
1. All in all, the period from 1865 through 1914, when immigration was not restricted and steamships were dominant, saw an average yearly immigrant volume of almost 529,000.
2. After a pause in European immigration during the U.S. Civil War, more than 20 million immigrants arrived—primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe—between 1880 and 1920. Most Southern European immigrants were motivated by economic opportunity in the United States, while Eastern Europeans (primarily Jews) fled religious persecution. World War I slowed European immigration, and the national-origin quotas established in 1921 and 1924—which gave priority to Western and Northern Europeans—coupled with the Great Depression and the onset of World War II brought immigration from Europe to a near halt.
3. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.

Explanation:
Answer:
The migration from the rural South to the urban North had on African Americans.
Explanation:
The Great Migration occurred when African Americans decided to leave the South from 1916 to 1970. Millions of African Americas began to leave rural areas in the Southern states and move to Northern cities. The racial discrimination led to the changes in economic, political and social for African Americas.
Some of the effects of the great migrations included increased population in northern cities. People had to work in factories and butcheries where working was dangerous. There was a growing competition for jobs. Racism was extensive in the North due to differences which developed crime rate and alcohol drinking among the African Americans.
