Social structure of British North American colonies

The ethnic composition of the colony is very complicated, including Indians, blacks, French, Dutch, Germans, Swedes, Swiss, Irish and British. Among them, Britain has the largest number of immigrants. 1750 The colonial population is about 2.384 million, including 384,000 blacks. The class structure of the colony is also very complicated. The upper level is big businessmen and planters, the middle is small landlords, small factory owners, technicians and yeomen, the bottom is tenant farmers, farm labourers, fishermen, craftsmen and apprentices, and the bottom is indentured slaves and blacks. Indians are the targets of slaughter and extinction. The struggle of colonial people against British colonial rule and oppression was intertwined with the struggle against colonial exploiters and ran through this period. The J. Gressler Uprising in 168 1 ~ 1 and the Bacon Uprising in 1676 were the two largest rebel movements in the early stage.
