    The settler societies of New England, the middle colonies, the Chesapeake, and the South had similarities as well as many differences, some being religious beliefs, labor, and their societies economic standpoint. In the article, “Advice to a Young Tradesman” by Benjamin Franklin, it’s stated, “…the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market.

    Andrew Jackson was a war hero turned president, but his battles did not end with his election. One type of problem Jackson faced was economic. South Carolinian planters saw that the protective tariff, passed by Congress in 1824, as oppressive since most of the revenue made from it was invested in the northeast’s manufacturing industry. They were more infuriated when the tariff was raised in the summer of 1828 (Brinkley 207). The South Carolinians and Vice President John C. Calhoun saw the taxes as “blatantly unconstitutional, exceeding Congress’s powers to raise necessary revenues and oppressing one section of the country while enriching others” (Wilentz 63). A nullification document written by Calhoun known as the South Carolina Exposition and Protest was passed by the state legislature in 1832 as a response. This text announced that any state could declare its original sovereignty and disregard federal laws that are found offensive in their borders. In retaliation, Jackson sent federal troops to South Carolina to enforce the law, but before any violence could ensure the state backed down (Brinkley 207). This created a strong rift between the Jackson and his vice president that turned in to a bitter rivalry between the two. Jackson’s…

    In conclusion, the differences in wealth and status greatly increased from 1700-1750 in the colonies. The wealthy seized every opportunity to add to their high status. These opportunities were often times a chance for the poor to “climb out of the gutter” a little bit. Instead, the poor were forced to rely on charity and support from taxes. The social and political structure of colonial America was very poor, allowing the difference in wealth and status to increase.…

    In New England colonies, the settlers build a society of fairness and equity. Not necessarily equality, as some people had more than others, but everyone had some land to call theirs. Their town were usually made up of around 40 families, all of whom were in one church. However, only high members of the church could vote, but everyone was made to pay taxes to it. The government regulated prices and wages to make sure that no person could charge as much as they wanted for goods. They also strived for wealth as the Chesapeakes did, but to a smaller degree. The New Englanders wanted wealth because it was a show of a bountiful life and that meant a pleasant afterlife in…

Those on the bottom, slaves and often times Native Americans, had their fate sealed they had no money to buy land or livestock or anything for that matter. They worked for someone else against their will and they worked hard, "fare hard" through all the "fatigue which the poor wretches [had undergone]" (Doc 5). Farmers, even though they were not the richest people, were able to work for themselves and live off of their own labor. They raised livestock and grew crops then sold them to the bigger towns for profit. Farmers were free in a sense but were limited to what they could do with the money they had. "Gentlemen", were the high society citizens of the colonies. These men were the elite. They could do almost anything they desired because of the money and power they possessed. Men of this stature had plenty of opportunities in Colonial America.…

A better life also included the Reform Bill of 1832 which granted middle class men the ability to vote. The forming…
