Answer:
Both New York City and Philadelphia have very good natural harbors, specially NYC, which has one of the best natural harbors in the whole world.
This harbors aided the economic development of the Mid-Atlantic Colonies because they facilitated the movement of goods and services, both imports and exports. It also facilitated the arrival of new migrants, and this added to the fact that the Mid-Atlantic Colonies were very open, led to a population growth that was higher than in New England or the South.
Higher populations increased the urban areas of the two cities, and it has been shown that urban economies tend to be more productive than rural economies.

The theft of Thor’s hammer & Odin wins the runes
Causes: According to Muslim sources, the Muslim soldiers attacked the native Jews who had barricaded themselves in forts. Muslim sources accuse Jews living in Khaybar of a plan to unite with other Jews from Banu Wadi Qurra, Taima', Fadak as well as Ghatafan Arab tribe to attack Madinah.
Events: The Muslims set out for Khaybar in March 628, Muharram AH 7. According to different sources, the strength of the Muslim army varied from 1,400 to 1,800 men and between 100 and 200 horses. Some Muslim women (including Umm Salama) also joined the army, in order to take care of the wounded. Compared to the Khaybarian fighting strength of 10,000, the Muslim contingent was small, but this provided an advantage, allowing them to swiftly and quietly march to Khaybar (in only three days), catching the city by surprise. It also made Khaybar overconfident. As a result, the Jews failed to mount a centrally organized defense, leaving each family to defend its own fortified redoubt. This underestimation of the Muslims allowed Muhammad to conquer each fortress one by one with relative ease, claiming food, weapons, and land as he went. Just a small summary, I would be here for hours writing about the whole thing:)
