Merchants were drawn to the middle colonies because there was a lot of trade going on there. The farming and natural resources played a big part in why the economy was successful.
In the Middle Ages, merchants were controlled by guilds. From early on, merchants banded together to control prices, quality of goods and services, and who could buy and sell in their markets. The organizations they formed were called guilds. Originally, they usually were formed of merchants or tradesmen who were in the same line of business, though in small towns they might have been merchants or tradesmen in general. In some places, the guilds formed organizations of guilds and took over operation of the governments of towns or cities. They might have restricted their activities to just a part of the government, or they might have taken over the whole thing and operated as a republic. These towns and cities were called communes. And even larger organizations were formed from the towns and cities, as they were able to enter into treaties and unite. The largest of these was the Hanseatic League, which had its own military and rivaled nations in power. Regardless, the merchants had to obey the rules of the organization they belonged to.

The merchants did not fit into the definition of a patrician. The patricians were a landowning aristocracy. Merchants fitted into the equestrian order (ordo equite).

Venice, Italy (from the European perspective) The Spice Trade was a two-part endeavor. Arab merchants went to the Indian subcontinent or sailed to Indonesia to buy spices from local merchants and brought them to the Levantine ports like Jaffa, Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos. Or, they would be brought to the major Turkish cities like Istanbul and Bodrum. At all of these port cities, Venetian merchants would purchase the spices from the Arab merchants and redisperse them in Venice to various European States. As the Venetians were the most effective shipbuilders in the Mediterranean, they prevented the rise of any European attempting to cut into the trade. (Venice is now part of Italy, but it was independent until the 1800s.)
