The Middle Colonies, consisting of the present-day states of [[New York]], [[New Jersey]], [[Pennsylvania]], and [[Delaware]], were characterized by a large degree of diversity—religious, political, economic, and ethnic. Many Dutch and Protestant Irish immigrants settled in these areas, as well as in [[Long Island]] and [[Connecticut]]. The Germans, called "[[Pennsylvania Dutch]]," were included in this emigration.
