What / or who are they: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey
Why middle: These were the 4 of the 13 original colonies that were between the northern and southern colonies.
Religion: this is the sentence you really like to write. There were all sorts of religions present, but not one of them could dominate. These 4 colonies had Lutherans, Mennonites, Calvinists (mostly Dutch), and Presbyterians.
Commerce: mostly agriculture at the time, but not restricted to 1 crop as the south was. Had good ports and growing cities (New York, Philadelphia). I like to include the well respected intellectual hotbed of people there like Ben Franklin.
They probably change the state law because each state has different law
Henry Knox was a man born in Boston, Massachusetts, who was a military officer in the Continental Army as well as in the United States Army. He became the United States Secretary of War in 1789, and continued until 1794.
A word to describe Henry Knox would be brave, as he fought in many wars, and was even an officer.
~Hope this helped!~
