Pennsylvania was founded in 1681 as a result of a Royal Charter to William Penn. It originally started as a place for Quakers to exercise their religion freely but soon attracted other migrants seeking to practise their religion freely from Germany.\n\n Its agricultural outputs are dairy products, poultry, cattle, nursery stock, mushrooms, hogs, and hay. Its industrial outputs are food processing, chemical products, machinery, and electric equipment. Tourism is a very big industry in the state, ranking as the 7th most visited state in the union, and 7th in tourism expends with $15.9 billion. The state also had strong shipbuilding, steel and coal industries but these have declined in recent years.

They started right after the Civil War, by who I don't know, as a protest to the freeing of the slaves.  Then it grew from there.  See the following links...

Tobacco is native to the North and South America so technically nobody brought it here, it was imported into Europe which is what made it so popular and was one of the first crops to make the colonies profitable. The wikipedia article below has a pretty decent short history if you want to know more.

The British colony in Massachusetts started because of money. English "gentlement" flocked to the colony in hopes to make a quick buck with cash crops. Some women also came, but the vast majority were men.\n\nOf course, there were many varied (and potentially life-threatening) factors at work once they arrived, but that exceeds the scope of the question.

NH. was settled by fisherman. NC. and SC. started as Carolina the South grew more quickly than the North. Eventually Carolina split into north and south. Delaware was part of Massachusetts at the beginning of the colony. The duke of York gave New Jersey to two of his friends. Georgia was made to protect the Carolinas from Spanish FL, it was founded James Oglethorpe. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn it was called Pennsylvania because it meant Penn's woods.

Isnt that German?  The story I always heard about the Pennsylvania Dutch was that they were actually German, or Duitch, but since the people in Pennsylvania couldnt pronounce the word correctly, those Germans became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

William Penn  founded the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the British North American colony that became the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The democratic principles that he set forth in the Pennsylvania Frame of Government served as an inspiration for the United States Constitution. Ahead of his time, Penn also published a plan for a United States of Europe, "European Dyet, Parliament or Estates. Before moving to America, Penn owned ironworks in the Kent village of Hawkhurst.

Not sure what you mean by history but here's a Wikipedia article on the PA General Assembly

Take a look at the region.  What types of activities go on there: agricultural, industrial, etc.  For example, if you asked me what determined the population concentration for the state of Michigan I would job availability.  For example, there are more jobs to be had in the cities so more people move to them.  Really take a look at what goes on in that region.  Where do most of the people live?  What takes place in those areas?  Then you will have your "answer."

America started from a pretty bland group of Protestents who came here to get away from discrimanation in England or were shipped here as slaves (endentured servents and people from debter's prisons). Hessions who stayed after serving as mercs in the revolutionary war only reinforced this make up. Then came the aquisition of French and Spanish lands as well as large imigrations of Jewish and Catholic settlers. Before these people groups like the Dutch were minorities and suffered the same treatment that the Irish, Italians, freed slaves, and so on suffered when they first broke into American society. \n\nSo the "old blood" money formed a WASP type social structure to keep out unwanted Catholics, Jews and other ethnic groups. This formed the base group which ironically forms the core today of the "liberal" leadership. \n\nThe so called conservitive movement started as a sort of Farmer's rebellion against the corruption and lack of rural representation found in the Gov around the time of the cival war. It was born of the same problems which caused the South a mostly rural area to suceed from the union. Sorry slavery was a minor issue in the cival war. Abe Lincoln was the first Republican elected president. The Whig party disapeered almost overnight. Many of them becoming either democrats or republicans. \n\nNew money had arisen during the intervening years. The railroad barons, Catholics and Jews who had struck it rich, often initially with ilegal enterprises, imigrants from other nations who came here with money. They lived a work ethic and it became the "American dream" while the Democrats remains a party of the old blood and Whites in the South who hated the Republican party for winning the cival war and dozens of other issues. \n\nThis is pretty much where things sat for most of 50 years. The Democrats eventually lured over labor to it's party. Certain ethnic groups like the Irish and Jews who worked the docks and other interests found themselves lined up with teh Democrats who's old money leadership was trying to strike down the new money. By accident alot of good things happened in the process of the two sides fighting this war. Better wages and workplace safety being a couple of those things. \n\nToday it's still a battle between old blood and new blood money. Added to it are quite a few special interests. Big corps and small biz tends to be "conservitive". The WASP churches found affinity with Republicans while the Catholic church found affinity with the Democrats. However down the road the Democrats catered to many other groups almost forcing the Catholic church into Republican boundries with an anti-Christian flavor that took hold in the 60s. \n\nSo theologically the so called "liberals" denounce religion officially but strongly favor anti-Christian religions or the lack of religion. Part of this was the failure of the US comunist party and the movement of Comunists into the Democratic party. Comunists as a fundemental plank are athiests. Comunism officially sees religion as a form of oppression. An Opiate of the masses to quote Marx. The adoption of the Democratic party and large scale conversion to Islam by many Blacks furthor added to this. \n\nRepublicans got a swelling of Christian support as a result and suddenly they became charged with protecting Christianity, especially Protestent Christianity. Republicans welcomed the Christian factions then and still do today though they are smarting from the actions of some televangilists and some of the extreme views found in the more fanatical Christian churches. \n\nAs for values. That is not a thought in the head of either party. They will run up slogans but these are purely to satisfy various factions within their party. Both liberal and conservitive have lost all sight of the meaning of the constitution. Both pretend to fight for upholding various sections of the US Constitution. For example in issu

Prior to the invention of the steam engine, industry tended to center where there was rapidly flowing water. New England was ideally suited to this for several reasons.\n\nThey had a relatively cold climate and so got a good deal of snow in the winter (when industries were typically slower, for they had not yet gone on the modern work schedule allowed by artifical lighting and accurate timekeeping.)\n\nThat snow resulted in a good 'head' of water power in the spring melt. \n\nIn addition to the spring melt, the mountainous regions of New England were close enough to the coast that the water did not lose too significant a portion of its velocity. The rivers were realtively narrow and fast.\n\nIn the south were wider, gentler rivers, further away from the coastal regions where people first settled in large groups. Because they had wider regions of flatter ground, the South tended to concentrate on agriculture.\n\nThere were three primary mill (waterwheel-driven) industries in the late 1700's. There were sawmills, for cutting timbers into lumber, without which the other industries could not have arisen. There were grist mills for grinding grain into flour, and making relatively chear cereal foods available, without which the worker base could not have subsisted. \n\nFinally there were the textile mills, where fibers were spun and woven into fabrics. These were probably the latest and most mechanically complicated of the three main varieties. (Recall, that the Jacquard loom of a later generation, was the first of a long line of machines which were operated by means of punched cards or tapes, prior to the invention of electric controls and the computer, or even pneumatic controls.)\n\nThe availability of shipping in New England was another reason that this area became a leader in these industries. The lumber, flour and fabric were sold all over the place. \n\nLinen and woolen fabrics were the most important at first, until Eli Whitney (of Massachusetts) invented the cotton gin and cotton became much more important in the agricultural and economic life of the South. It is highly ironic that, after having invented one machine which contributed heavily, though indirectly, tothe American Civil War, Eli Whitney also developed the mass production method of manufacturing arms which were then used by Union forces to win the war.
