- In the middle colonies, people of all religions gathered due to the religious tolerance. This was due to the Quakers' beliefs, because William Penn, the creator of the colony, wanted religious freedom and a peaceful refuge for all religions. In the colonies, you trade with your neighbors for things. People worked in craftsmanship, farming, trading, and bread-making.
