Perhaps the best phrase to use would be polar opposites. When the Ark and the Dove arrived to begin the Colony there were seventeen so called Gentlemen and their wives who came ashore, a Catholic Priest and about 200 others. This ill-defined group of 'others' were mostly indentured servants, mostly male and mostly unskilled. There had to be a small contingent of female personal servants aboard if there were 17 wives for the 'gentlemen'.
Add to the mix a few qualified cooks, laundresses, seamstresses and hairdressers and the disparity between the sexes was enormous. The bad part of that equation was it only got worse as the demand for labor increased. Tens of thousand of English criminals (mostly male) were shipped to the new world.
The opposite poles included:
- Economics: The headrights on indentured servants was owned by a small number of gentlemen and their was almost no middle class structue.
- Socioloogy: There simply weren't enough women included in the population mix to allow a civilization to develop.
- Religion: Catholics were again a minority and even worse, they were in power having owned their labor for a set number of years, having denied their clergy admission to the colony, and they had been responsible for their lack of families and upward mobility to the middle class.
Revolution was bound to evolve and it did.
