Colonial America was a melting pot. In 1775 Germans were 6% of the population, Scot-Irish 7%, Welsh, Dutch, Swedes, Jews and Swiss were 5%. By 1750 35% of the south was slave. The colonial social structure was like a pyramid. At the top was the lawyers, officials, clergymen, aristocrats, and planters. Then there was the lesser professionals. Yeoman Farmers was the largest group in the middle. Next, came the 50,000 "jayle" birds and indentured servants. Finally, at the bottom was the slaves. 90% of the nation farmed and tobacco was the main southern crop. Fishing was also a major industry. There were two main churches in the colonies. The Anglican and Congregational. The Anglican became the official faith in GA, North/South Carolina, VA, Maryland, and NY. It was the major voice of the king. The Congregational grew out of the Puritan and was formally established in all the New England colonies. Massachusetts taxed all residents to support the church.

Where did people in medieval times live?
Most people of the Middle Ages lived on manors or other farms, depending on the actual time and place. Peasants, who worked the land, lived in cottages, usually in villages. Lords and other members of the nobility lived in manor houses. The clergy lived in rectories attached to churches, or in monastic buildings. Bishops lived in episcopal palaces. Many people, especially in the later part of the Middle Ages, lived in towns and cities. Poorer people lived in boarding houses, and the wealthy lived in their own houses. Some people lived in castles, but not very many. Castles were uncomfortable. Kings lived in palaces with their families, when they could. If times were bad they lived in castles.
