What was colonial rhode island clothing like?

In colonial Rhode Island, as in most of the colonies, people generally made their own clothing, although some very wealthy families were able to import clothes from Europe. Women and girls wore long dresses, some of which had ruffles; and while Puritans had preferred very conservative colors, there was more variety of colors and styles in the dresses that women wore in Rhode Island, since Roger Williams had broken away from the austere fashion of the Puritans. Many dresses were made of linen, which was a popular fabric. Many women wore a bonnet to cover their head when going out.

The custom for men was to wear white shirts and a dark coat. Their shirts were usually made of linen, or sometimes cotton. Wealthier people had shirts made of silk. Pants tended to be at knee-level-- they were called "breeches." There were no zippers, so coats had buttons on them. Some men from the upper class wore a wig for business or special occasions; it reflected his status in society. As for children, young boys would wear breeches and white shirts too, and long dresses for girls. At this time, there was no style of fun, loose-fitting clothes that children could play in; they tended to be dressed in miniature versions of what their parents wore.

What was the government structure within the colonies in 1700?

The government in the colonies during the 1700's was not very organized. Although they were made of different branches and had separate colony bodies, the central government was nothing compared to the governing power of the British. Many of the colonies had their own governing body that only had to do with that specific colony, like the House of Burgesses. The central governing body couldn't have complete control over all of the colonies at once either.
