History

Answer:

Mid-Atlantic states.

Explanation:

The Middle Colonies were a subset of the Thirteen Colonies in British America, located between the New England Colonies and the Southern Colonies. Along with the Chesapeake Colonies, this area now roughly makes up the Mid-Atlantic states.

Much of the area was part of New Netherland until the British exerted their control over the region. The British captured much of the area in their war with the Dutch around 1664, and the majority of the conquered land became the Province of New York. The Duke of York and the King of England would later grant others ownership of the land which would become the Province of New Jersey and the Province of Pennsylvania. The Delaware Colony later separated from Pennsylvania, which was founded by William Penn.

The Middle Colonies had much fertile soil, which allowed the area to become a major exporter of wheat and other grains. The lumber and shipbuilding industries were also successful in the Middle Colonies because of the abundant forests, and Pennsylvania was moderately successful in the textile and iron industries. The Middle Colonies were the most ethnically and religiously diverse British colonies in North America with settlers from England, Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and German states. Farm land was both productive and much less expensive than in Europe. Later settlers included members of various Protestant denominations, which were protected in the Middle Colonies by written freedom of religion laws. This tolerance was very unusual and distinct from the situation in other British colonies

How will the war in ukraine affect the united states.
klio [65]

As this is up to interpretation as the war hasn't progressed far enough to provide a clear answer, I am going to give the best / worst case scenario.

Best case scenario, Putin realizes that what he is doing is irrational and calls off the invasion, and Russia deals with the economic consequences.

Worst case scenario, Putin keeps pushing the war until foreign countries get involved, possibly triggering Article 5 of NATO, causing WWIII and most likely ending in nuclear war.

What I believe / hope is going to happen is that is becomes more of a cold war where there is no direct conflict outside of Ukraine and Russia / Belarus until Russia gives up.

Phantasy [73]
<span>The compromise of 1850 turned out to be a misguided attempt to bury the issue of slavery. Even though it brought the country together at first, the results didn't last. The North wasn't on board because the Fugitive Slave Law required that they help return any and all runaway slaves.</span>
