Answer:
Diversity and lifestyles in 1770.
Explanation:
1) Prior to the Industrial Revolution, most people in England lived in the countryside. Owning lands was the main source of wealth during this time. The nobility and the rich landlords sat atop the food chain in England. The middle class was composed of the merchants and professionals. The lowest class was made up of laborers and craftsmen.
For rich although, they were only a minority of the population, they enjoyed great luxuries in England in the 1700s. They owned great mansions and country houses. They filled their time with opera, theater, and dinner parties.
However the poor people made up most of the population in England. Craftsmen and laborers who didn’t own properties belonged in the lower class. They usually resided in houses with two or three rooms; the poorest families were cramped in one-room houses.
Colonial life in America was very difficult for the hopeful settlers who came to escape poverty, persecution, and to gain religious freedom.
Life in colonial America centered on the family. Most of the following took place at home in the very earliest years of the settlements:
- • work
- • play
- • schooling
- • learning a craft or trade
- • worshiping
2) There was a great kind of diversity among which the following can be named:
- Racial diversity - European Caucasians, North American Indians, African slaves
- Cultural diversity- Euro-American, Native American, and African. Each cultural group, in turn, embraced dozens, if not hundreds of different cultural characteristics.
- National diversity - French, Spanish, English, Dutch, 100s of different Indian nations.
- Religious diversity - Native American religions, Anglican/Church of England, Catholics, Puritans,, Jews, Quakers, Baptists
- Socio-economic - a few wealthy investors, a few of the "middling sort", a huge number of indentured servants, slaves
- Political diversity - the empowered, the unempowered, and the enslaved.
- Geographical diversity - mountains, mightly rivers, vast forests, excellent farmland, superior harbors
3) For the comparison of the three functions you have the following:
Wealth: It is important to distinguish between the colonial regions since there were sharp differences in climates and economies as well as in the composition of wealth. Among the mainland colonies, the white southerners were the richest, on average, with about twice the wealth of New England or the Middle Atlantic region. If we include the West Indies as one of the colonial areas, then its thriving sugar industry made it the wealthiest. Slavery was not the only reason for this difference.
Gender: For black men and women, slavery was an equally devastating experience. Both were torn from homeland and family. Both were forced to perform grueling labor, subjected to mental and physical degradation, and denied their most basic rights. Enslaved men and women were beaten mercilessly, separated from loved ones arbitrarily, and, regardless of sex, treated as property in the eyes of the law. Although most planters in colonial North America favored robust young men as slaves, the bulk of these were shipped to the West Indies, whose sugar crops dominated the international trade economy.
Race: Whites (including Non-Hispanic Whites) have historically made up the overwhelming majority (usually between eighty and ninety percent) of the total United States population. The United States historically had few Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans, especially before the late twentieth century. Most Asian Americans historically lived in the western United States.

4) Our Founding Fathers realized that throughout history, we derived rights and freedoms only at the pleasure or discretion of an overarching authority that stood "above" them. That authority could be a king or queen or a parliament and that authority would decide what the people were allowed to have, or to do, or to keep. It all flowed downward to the people from a controlling higher authority; human rights were allocated to the people, or distributed to the people, or permitted to the people by an empowered greater entity whose reason for existence was to impose order and structure.
5) The term Founding Fathers is sometimes used to refer to the Signers of the embossed version of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Two further groupings of Founding Fathers include:
- those who signed the Continental Association, a trade ban and one of the colonists' first collective volleys protesting British control and the Intolerable Acts in 1774, or
- those who signed the Articles of Confederation, the first U.S. constitutional document
The Founding Fathers practiced a wide range of high and middle-status occupations, and many pursued more than one career simultaneously. They did not differ dramatically from the Loyalists, except they were generally younger and less senior in their professions.
