Geography (landforms, main natural resources, weather,)

The landform in Pennsylvania Colony was mostly
mountains and valleys with forests and rich soil.
The winter was cold, the summer was hot, and fall
+ spring were mild which made a long growing
season.
The main natural resources were coal, iron, and
lumber.
They also had coastal plains and plateaus.

Economy

(jobs, main products sold/traded, services)

The jobs in Pennsylvania were farming, iron,

agricultural products, fur, coal, and timber.
The three main jobs were trading, farming, and
lumber because they were in the middle colonies
and were in a good port area.
The smaller jobs were shipbuilding, textiles
production, and papermaking.

Economy continued
Shipbuilding was also important for this colony
since it was a big trading post.

Mills
A mill was a place were wheat and wood were
turned into lumber and flour + grain. They
were very common in the
Middle colonies.

Slavery in your Colony?

There were very few slaves because Pennsylvania
Colony did not have giant plantations.
Slaves were not needed because most goods came
from trading in their big port.
The slaves that were there did common house work
and worked on the smaller farms.
Slaves also worked in their master's shops like shoe
making or blacksmithing.

Religion (main religions, religious freedom? influence town life?)

The main religion was Quaker.
There was religious freedom there so a lot of other religions came
such as Catholics, Lutherans, Jews, Moravians, and other
religions.
Religious freedom affected the law. For example, boys who were
10 had to read the bible. However, no one was forced to believe
in a religion or made fun of because of their religion.

Religion continued
The religious freedom also brought in Africans, but
not as slaves.

Native Americans (Interactions, trade, war, disease)

In the early years of settlement, the Pennsylvania colony bought
Lenni Lenapes land fairly.
When William Penn died, his sons stole the Natives land
(Lenni Lenapes land) with lies and force.
The Colonists also got along with the Natives because of
religious freedom.
Later the Pennsylvania colony in 1780 wanted the Lenni
Lenapes gone.

Natives continued
The Lenni Lenapes lived close to the Delaware River

Challenges, Hardships (disease, violence, weather)

The disease smallpox killed of the Pennsylvania
colony.
Early settlers had trouble with sea travel because it
made them sick and storms made travel difficult.
The Appalachian Mountains stopped expansion.
All the colonies had different types of money which
made it hard to trade between colonies.

Fun facts
