About 95% of the people lived on farms or plantations, plantation owners made up about 10% of the population and owned 50-75% of the land and profited off of it.

Middle and lower classes were made up of small farmers who owned their own land, some with the help of indentured servants. Indentured servants made up half to two thirds of the white settlers.

Privileges resulted from privileges of wealth. Many fine items were owned by richer people, so many middle-class families didn't have silver cutlery sets, etc. Richer people working just as hard, or less hard had more leisure time then poorer folk. A small farmer had to work even harder to get close to a point a gentry was at. Inequality was greatest in Virginia, but there was still inequality in the other states. Indentured servants without skills were set to hard labor and slaves were regarded as property. On the other hand, PA and Delaware had strong Quaker customs and William Penn did not like social rank. For Quakers, wealth didn't bring status, and among those Quakers there was a growing distinction in wealth.

Even though they were spiritually equal women were not allowed to be ministers and were forbidden to preach to men. Men and women's work were stricly defined but the definitions varied form place to place. Women were confined to household tasks and rarely worked in fields with the men. Amoung Pennsylvania, Germans, it was common for women to work in fields and barns alongside their husbands. Trade and business was regarded as "a man's world."

Plantations are large farms usually 20,000 acres or more owned by a single family and worked by indentured servants and slaves. They had to earn their freedom and when they do they get a little bit of land to farm but not enough to sell and profit off of. The main cash crop in north carolina was tobacco. Farther south usually grew rice and indigo and the longest growing season and had natural hazards. Malaria was a health risk that spread through the colonies but spread fast through the south because of it being swampy. " the soil was rich and, as it was said, a community could prosper "if god's willing and the creel don't rise."
