Answer 1

The statements that best describe similarities between the Middle Colonies and the New England Colonies are:

• Both had mostly good relationships with Native Americans, even though there were some conflicts.

• Both had some groups that settled for religious reasons.

The other statements do not accurately represent the similarities between the two regions. For instance, debtors were not a significant reason for settlement in either region, and while some slavery existed in the Middle Colonies, it did not play a predominant role in the economy like it did in the Southern Colonies.
