Why was the population of the New York Colony more ethnically and religiously diverse than most of England's other North American colonies?

Respuesta :

The New York Colony had more diverse population because it was much more liberal than the rest of the English colonies in North America.

Explanation:

The British managed to establish multiple colonies on the eastern coast of North America. They were not the same though, and some had much more differences than common things. Some of the things in which the colonies differed greatly was the ethnic and religious tolerance, with some being highly tolerant, while some were not tolerant at all.

One of the most tolerant, or rather liberal colonies, was New York. This colony was highly tolerant when it came to ethnicity and religion. Because of this, many people that were persecuted in their homelands in Europe, be it because of ethnicity or religion, decided to settle in this particular colony. This made the colony very diverse in both respects, unlike the other colonies, especially the southern ones, which were much more homogeneous.

Some of the religious groups that settled were:

  • Protestant
  • Quakers
  • Jews
  • Puritans

Some of the ethnic groups that settled were:

  • Dutch
  • German
  • French
  • Irish
