In the southern colonies during the 1800s, men primarily took on roles as landowners, farmers, and plantation managers, with a significant emphasis on agricultural production, particularly in cash crops like cotton and tobacco. They often held positions of authority and leadership within their communities, serving as political leaders, militia members, and heads of households. Additionally, many men participated in the institution of slavery, either by owning enslaved people or managing their labor. Overall, men's roles were deeply intertwined with the economic and social structures of the region, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle and hierarchical society of the South.

Byrd portrays women in the southern colonies as having limited roles primarily centered around domestic responsibilities, reflecting the societal norms of the time. He highlights their importance in maintaining the household and raising children, yet often underscores their subservience to men. While he acknowledges some influence women could exert within the family and social sphere, their autonomy and opportunities for public life were significantly constrained. Overall, Byrd's observations reflect the patriarchal structure that defined women's lives in the southern colonies.
