Question

which statement best describes an effect of william penn’s actions on colonial america?
cash - crop agriculture became more profitable in the southern colonies.
many immigrants came to the middle colonies seeking religious freedom.
several northern colonies decided to outlaw slave labor.
the first english colonists formed a successful colony.

Explanation:

William Penn founded Pennsylvania (a Middle colony) with a policy of religious tolerance. This attracted many immigrants seeking religious freedom to the Middle colonies. Option A is about Southern cash - crop agriculture (not related to Penn). Option B is about northern colonies outlawing slavery (Penn's colony had more lenient slavery policies but not this specific action). Option D is about the first English colonists (Penn was not part of the first colonists). So the correct statement is about immigrants coming to Middle colonies for religious freedom.

Answer:

C. Many immigrants came to the Middle colonies seeking religious freedom.
