In the New England colonies, power and wealth were primarily concentrated among the merchant class and landowners. Wealthy merchants engaged in trade and commerce, particularly with Europe and the West Indies, while landowners benefited from agriculture and the ownership of profitable farmland. Additionally, the Puritanical social structure often favored those with religious and political influence, allowing a small elite to maintain control over economic and social resources. This created a distinct upper class that wielded significant power in colonial governance and society.
