1. What did Peter Kalm see that shows

that farmers settled in the middle colonies

were doing very well in 1748?

Peter Kalm saw how well populated the farm areas of the middle colonies were, and he saw this as a proof that the farmers settled in the middle colonies were doing very well in 1748.

Explanation:

In 1748 a Swedish visitor named Peter Kalm gave an account of how life was in the Middle colonies of the United States as he traveled through New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. While travelling through the countryside of these regions, the visitor mentioned how surprised he was when he saw the big populations of what was considered to be farmer settlements, which are normally less populated than towns or cities. Kalm describes how every farm had a big variety of fruits and vegetables that were in constant blooming. All of these accounts that the visitor discovered through his journey made him believe that the European farmers who had settled in the middle colonies were doing very well.
