Colonial towns were founded by British citizens who had come to America (there was no United States yet). As with England, there were very rigid social classes: there was an upper class of wealthy landowners, and there was also a lower class, some of whom were indentured servants who worked for the landowners in hopes of learning a trade or making some money.

Is not a characteristic of the idealized Spanish town in Middle America?

An idealized Spanish town in Middle America typically features a central plaza, colonial architecture, and a strong sense of community. However, a characteristic that is not typically associated with these towns is the presence of modern skyscrapers, as the aesthetic and historical charm of these towns is rooted in their colonial past and traditional designs.
