One major difference that separated the three colonial regions was farming. For example New England colonies like Massachusetts Bay struggled with farming. The rocky land and soil made it difficult to farm. Farming was so tough that a group of Puritans were looking to for 40 families rich or poor to venture westward to the Connecticut River to farm. In exchange the families would get each family would get as much land as they wanted, everyone who owned a house would have a cow pasture, share the Hassokey Marsh, share the woodland, share the meadow, and that taxes will be based on the amount of land they have. Instead of having huge plantation, the New England colonies used subsistence farming. Subsistence farming is farming only what your family needs. Occasionally they reaped more crops than they needed. If this happened they would sell the crops to other families who needed them. The New England colonies mainly grew vegetables unlike the plantations. The plantations main crops were indigo, rice, and especially tobacco. In 1615 Virginia only exported 2000 pounds of tobacco to England which escalated to 1.5 million pounds in 1630 (DOC C). The fertile land of Virginia was able to farm tobacco which was able to support their mother country through the tax revenue and profit. Differences in farming affected the economies. While the middle and southern colonies were an agricultural based economy, the northern colonies had more of a trade based economy. If the northern…
A huge division in these Middle Eastern civilization’s cultures were the formation of urbanization, and class systems. In Mesopotamia, a structured 3-part class system was developed, along with Hammurabi’s Law Code. The top class included land owning males and artisans, as well as royals and warriors. The middle class contained dependent people attached to land, and at the bottom was slaves employed for domestic work. Also the freedoms and some rights of women were lost around the second millennium. In Egypt, there too were classes, yet they weren’t as enforced and structured. Woman were held at a higher standard here because they weren’t secluded in the process of urbanization and class structure, like they were in Mesopotamia.…
British North America by the mid 1700’s consisted of three major regions. The New England region included the colonies of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Region included the colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The Southern Region, also known as the Chesapeake Colonies, included the Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Although all three regions consisted of British colonies, each region differed in terms of climate, geography, population, politics, economy, and religious attitudes. Daily life was very different for the people who lived in each of these regions in the way they lived, worked, worshipped, and did business. This paper will look compare and contrast the three distinct colonial regions which came together to form the United States of America.…

Slaves were brought to America and forced to work for the colonists receiving nothing in return. Indentured servants and slavery were both groups that were involved in America’s first colonization and although they were frequently taken advantage of, they were very important in building this new nation’s…
The overall social stratification was pretty similar to other empires of that region as well. Persia had a greater number of slaves, who were used as agricultural laborers and used to help build roads and improve the empire. Persian Society was patriarchal, but the women had many more rights than other civilizations, and they could own their own property and manage it and women could even keep their wages if they worked in shops.

The social hierarchy in Africa started with the royal families at the top of the pyramid, then nobles, priest, and farmer, artisans and slaves at the…
