Title: The Perukers Wigmakers


1
The PerukersWigmakers
  • By Harry, Ron, and Hermione

The Middle Colonies
  • Cultural Reason
  • The affluent population

3
Geography reasons
  • Fertile land and Major Cities
  • rivers provide fertile land and water access for
    wealthy port cities
  • fertile land was great for farming

4
Economic reasons
  • Money to pend
  • came to the Middle Colonies because they wanted
    to make money and to farm
  • they had many cash crops to trade and to sell

5
Cultural reasons
  • Fashion shows Status
  • gentry class could afford imported materials
  • a lot of diversity in the kinds of people that
    lived there

6
We didnt choose The New England Colonies
  • Because the soil was too thin and rocky for them
    to grow cash crops for spending money and they
    were too prim, proper, and pious to spend money
    on wigs anyway

7
We didnt choose the Southern Colonies
  • Too swampy and hot
  • Settlers thought they would get rich quick, and
    return to England
