A huge division in these Middle Eastern civilization’s cultures were the formation of urbanization, and class systems. In Mesopotamia, a structured 3-part class system was developed, along with Hammurabi’s Law Code. The top class included land owning males and artisans, as well as royals and warriors. The middle class contained dependent people attached to land, and at the bottom was slaves employed for domestic work. Also the freedoms and some rights of women were lost around the second millennium. In Egypt, there too were classes, yet they weren’t as enforced and structured. Woman were held at a higher standard here because they weren’t secluded in the process of urbanization and class structure, like they were in Mesopotamia.…
British North America by the mid 1700’s consisted of three major regions. The New England region included the colonies of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Region included the colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The Southern Region, also known as the Chesapeake Colonies, included the Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

The economies of each region at the time where really only similar in that they were expanding and growing stronger. One way the two regions differed in economics was in the base of the economy. For example, the South's economy was based on cotton farming, while the North's economy was based on manufacturing. Because the South did not manufacture goods, they were forced to purchase finished products from the North- thus adding to the North's economy. With the South's money they would purchase cotton from the southern states. Also, in the South, there were little job opportunities for whites since slaves had the jobs in the field, unlike the North where jobs were abundant in factories for the unskilled workers. Many of these unskilled workers were immigrants from Ireland and Germany.…

The overall social stratification was pretty similar to other empires of that region as well.

In places like South Carolina, There were many plantations producing things such as rice and indigo. Many plantations require many workers, and Europeans turned to slaves to do it. This resulted in there being more slaves than Europeans in South Carolina. Europeans in South Carolina began to fear an uprising from the slaves because of the large number of them, so the owners of the plantations and workers tended to live far away from the plantations and have other slave overseers keeping everything in order on the plantations. Many slaves came straight from Africa, were able to preserve their culture. This happened here more than in the middle colonies because the slaves were isolated from Europeans, and therefore no cultural diffusion was able to occur.…
