"which of these was considered a ""mid atlantic/middle"" colony in north america?
1) virginia
2) new york
3) rhode island
4) new hampshire"

The correct answer is New York.

Explanation: Under British rule, the city grew, new settlers arrived and settled when the Indians were no longer a threat. So New York grew and developed, houses were built, merchants opened their emporiums, small workshops opened their doors. New York has become one of the most important ports of British trade in North America. The sad page of history was that the city became the gateway to African slaves. Most of these slaves were sent to cotton and sugar cane farms in the south of the colony.
