In what way was the population of the middle colonies like the population of the united states today?

Explanation:

Population in 1700: Estimated population in the Colonies as of the year 1700. The Middle Colonies held a population of about 65,000, compared to New England's 120,000 and the Southern Colonies' 77,000. Proprietors allowed this religious tolerance for two reasons. They just wanted colonists to buy or rent land. Many families in the Middle Colonies were farmers. The climate and soil of the Middle Colonies were very good for farming. Unlike solidly Puritan New England, the middle colonies presented an assortment of religions. The presence of Quakers, Mennonites, Lutherans, Dutch Calvinists, and Presbyterians made the dominance of one faith next to impossible. The middle colonies included Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.
