Answer:
Many sought the political and religious freedoms in the colony.
Explanation:
New Jersey Province was part of New York Province. James, the Duke of York, granted part of his colony between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers to Sir George Carteret to settle a debt owed to him. Sir George named his new colony, Jersey Island. He sold part of the colony to Lord Berkeley of Stratton. Both gentlemen attracted many settlers to their lands, granting freedom of religion and political freedom.
Over time, the colonies of New York and New Jersey became involved in border-related conflicts when the governor of New York tried to overthrow the governor of New Jersey. The conflict was later resolved, and both colonies ratified the Declaration of Independence.
