They viewed reaching an advanced age as a significant accomplishment.
Life expectancy in early colonial Virginia was less than 25 years -- including the reality of infant mortality and a high number of deaths in childhood.  In the colonial beginnings of New England, around 40% of children died before reaching adult age.  Life in the colonies was very hard for the early colonists.

Why have myths been meaningful to humankind for thousands of years?​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Myths and Legends have been a big part of everyday life and have been passed on from generation to generation. They have inspired and taken a large place in society. But why are some myths and legends from the middle ages still very popular today? It is because they are gripping and entertaining. They designed their stories to be as complicated and detailed as possible so it would keep those listening to the stories entertained. This is because most people were illiterate probably due to the fact that about 90 per cent of the population were peasants and thus had little or no education. These highly entertaining stories have been passed on from the people of the Middle Ages down to us today and we have loved them so. So many of our stories today are based on concepts from the middle ages which prove we love them dearly. For example, we have all fallen in love with things like the Hobbit which is based completely around medieval warfare, magic and Dragons (Check out some info on them at mythological creatures). Another example is the TV show, Merlin based completely on the stories and myths of King Arthur and Merlin and all the adventures that took place. So the reason that we all have fallen in love with these Legends or Myths is because they are so intricate and beautifully woven that we have no choice but to love them.

Can someone tell me what the middle class is during the medieval times and how it came to exist?
swat32
The rise of the middle class came from two different groups of people, upper class families were one becuase of the amount of money it took to become a succesful merchant/ trader. The other group was merchants from the lower class who were often looked down upon but because of their succes in their respective guilds they were brought together. The middle class grew in importance due to the fact that there was a significant growth in the number of towns. The rise of the middle class created a merchant class, responsible for the growth of cities, increased trade, and lifted people from the lower class.
