 * 7) New Jersey began as a part of the New York colony, so much of its early history is tied to New York. New Jersey is a center of chemical production, agriculture, oil, and manufacturing.
 * 8) New Jersey is interconnected to the rest of the region economically; it also came into existence as a part of New York.
 * 9) I am persuaded by the author's treatment of the topic. The tone is informative and convincing; the author seems to have a thorough understanding of the topic and be an informed and learned speaker on the topic.

 * 7) New Jersey began as the colony New Netherlands. It was then divided into East and West Jersey, before becoming part of the colony New York, and finally becoming an independent New Jersey in 1738.
 * 8) Control of New Jersey was traded around several times before it gained full independence.
 * 9) I believe very much in the credibility of the source, coming directly from the New Jersey government.
 * 10) In 1664 the Dutch lost New Netherlands when the British took control of the land and added it to their colonies. They divided the land in half and gave control to two proprietors: Sir George Carteret (who was in charge of the east side) and Lord John Berkley (who was in charge of the west side). The land was officially named New Jersey after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. Carteret had been governor of the Isle of Jersey.
