The Middle Colonies were the most ethnically and religiously diverse of the thirteen original colonies because of the influence of their English, Dutch, French and German origins. This influence included tolerance and cosmopolitanism, and resulted in New Netherland's success as the commercial center of the eastern North American colonies. This was evidenced by the fact that they had more agriculture than the New England colonies. The Middle Colonies were also known as the "bread basket" colonies because of their large grain export. It was also the mid-Atlantic colonies that expanded into other areas of commerce before the others.
