1. The Middle Colonies were called the "breadbasket" because they grew more food than the New England and Southern colonies. They were the most prosperous colonies in terms of agriculture because their soil was more fertile due to better weather conditions than New England, which in turn made the growing season longer. The better weather and abundance of food also created a larger population in the Middle Colonies which meant that there were more people available to work on the farms.

2. The term self-sufficient refers to how independent a person or group is in terms of meeting their basic needs. Backcountry colonists lived more isolated than people in plantations and, therefore, had to make all of the things they needed at home. These people would make their own houses, clothing, and furniture, and also had to grow their own food.

3. The Mayflower Compact was the first document that established some sort of governmental organization in the colonies. It was written on a ship called the Mayflower (hence the treaty's name) and it's purpose was to establish a set of basic rules and guidelines to ensure coexistence would be peaceful among the colonists. The Compact was not an official constitution, but rather an agreement signed between the ship's adult male passengers (women did not have the right to sign) to express basic rights that should be respected in the new land.
