Some colonies relied on the enslavement of Native populations for wealth and growth -- although this waned with the rise of the African slave trade.

 * [[image:Female_Rose.png]]Women in the Colonies**
 * Overall, women were held to similar expectations across all colonies: maintaining household order, teaching moral behavior to children, and doing as their husbands told
 * However, women in Southern colonies had the possibility of more freedoms, as the Northern colonies were founded as religious, puritanical, and heavily patriarchal societies
 * Single or widowed women in the South could run their own businesses, whereas women in the North could only do so if their husband had purposely deserted them
