Zoroastrianism, or more natively Mazdayasna, is one of the world's oldest extant religions, "combining a cosmogonic dualism and eschatological monotheism in a manner unique among the major religions of the world". Ascribed to the teachings of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster (or Zarathustra), it exalts a deity of wisdom, Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord), as its Supreme Being. Major features of Zoroastrianism, such as messianism, heaven and hell, and free will have, some believe, influenced other religious systems, including Second Temple Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam. With possible roots dating back to the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism enters recorded history in the 5th-century BCE, and along with a Mithraic Median prototype and a Zurvanist Sassanid successor it served as the state religion of the pre-Islamic Iranian empires from around 600 BCE to 650 CE.

Answer:

The population and social structure of the 18th and 17th century differ from one another for several reasons.

Explanation:

In the beginning, the purpose of establishing colonies in the New World was economic reasons. Settlers who settled in new colonies were living in harsh condition, and the population remain low. Slowly settlers from England began to arrive to escape prosecution because of religious practices. The tobacco-growing led in the emergence of the white indentured servants in colonies. Life was harsh, so servants required to reduce the burden from the settlers. White indentured servants became common during the early settlement.

During the 18th century, there was a sharp rise in the population in colonies accompanied by dependence on slave labour. There was an increased mingling of different races. People from Africa shipped in American colonies as labours and servants. The South became dependence on slaves as they were part of the plantation society. Poeple from Europe also arrive to escape poverty, debt, and wanted to start a new life from a beginning.
