The true reasons for emigrating included the search for religious freedom, escaping poverty, acquiring land of their own, and improving their economic situation. 3 New England's economy was primarily driven by timber (lumber), fishing, shipbuilding, and agriculture. 5 Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams after he was banished from Massachusetts for defending liberty of conscience and the separation of church and state. He established the colony as a safe haven based on religious tolerance and democratic self-government. 6 In 1664, the Dutch colony of New Netherland surrendered to an English fleet without a fight, coming under English control and being renamed New York in honor of the Duke of York. 7 The Middle Colonies were called the "Bread Basket" because they produced massive amounts of grain, particularly wheat, which was ground into flour and widely exported to other colonies and Europe. 8 Tobacco was cultivated on large plantations and heavily exported to generate substantial profits, alongside other major money-makers like rice and indigo. 9 Colonial unity and the decision to rebel were triggered by unfair British taxes and excessive control from the King and Parliament. The taxes were imposed without colonial representation, which united the separate colonies against imperial rule.
