The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not include options, we can answer the following.
Many middle colonies were created so that people could gain wealth but in contrast, many New England colonies served as a refuge for people who faced religious persecution.
That was the case of the Puritans, that had so many differences in Britain with the Church of England and were persecuted for religious motives. The Puritans decided to emigrate to North America and arrived at Cape Town, Massachusets in 1620. There, they founded the Plymouth colony, a place where they could live and teach their strict religious principles.
In 1793,France,under the leadership of Napoleon,declared war on Spain,Britain and Holland.The United States lacked the resources and desire to enter the Napoleonic Wars,and even Jefferson agreed with Hamilton and Washington that USA should remain neutral.
US neutrality was compromised when Citizen Zenet,the French ambassador to the United States,began to recruit Americans to fight for the French.Additionally,Genet tried to use American ports to launch French naval attacks on the British and use American soil to train French troops.
Hamilton argued that the US did not need to honour the 1778 treaty because it had been an agreement with the king of France ,not with the new French Republic established during the French Revolution.hamilton also encouraged Washington to deny Genet's request that the United States repay its debts to France in advance.
It is significant because it shows how vulnerable to attack the medieval people were and why the need for protection was so strong.
