History of South America

Did most immigrants to the middle colonies want chance buy their own land?

No, most immigrants to the middle colonies were not wealthy enough to buy their own land. Instead, they worked as indentured servants or tenant farmers. Indentured servants agreed to work for a set period of time, usually 4-7 years, in exchange for their passage to America. Tenant farmers paid rent to landowners in exchange for the use of their land.
