The social pressures that contributed to English colonization of north America had to do with religious, politics and economics matters.

Bearing in mind that religion was the main factor contributing to the English migration, the Puritans fled to America from England to gain their religious freedom. England had broken away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a new church called the Church of England. However, the Puritans did not recognize the King as the head of the Church; for that reason they were persecuted.

British people were also enthusiastic about the idea of Capitalism which involved investing the capital in a growing business so as to make even more money. They believed that moving to the North American Colonies was a great opportunity to make money. Besides, people who had been oppressed in England and who had lost their jobs and homes, decided to settle down in America in order to gain land from the great vast fields so as to make their own living by working on the land.

Metics were non-Athenians who generally found the cosmopolitan city of Athens more appealing than their own homelands.  Metics could not own property, which was crippling in Athenian society, but they could hold jobs for property owners and they did have to pay a tax. 

Slaves were the property of their owners and could be bought and sold at any time.  They held no enforceable legal rights and had no citizenship rights.  Slaves had a variety of jobs, from working inside the home to working in the fields to acting as attendants – actually, some slaves became quite close to their owners and their families and were well-loved.

(just take parts of each of this section to make the citizens part)

Women were not technically citizens, but their family was important.  For a woman to marry well, both her mother and father had to be Athenian born. 

Marriages were arranged usually when a woman was 14 and a man about 30.  She was expected to cook, clean, spin and weave, and sometimes keep accounts and handle servants.  Their life was entirely in their home.

Women were generally not allowed in public, and their association with men was limited to their husbands, sons, and close family members.  They even had their own quarters, called the gunaikonitis, where they spent their time and raised their children.

There were women in Athens who were not wives and mothers but who served a purpose.  Prostitution was a legal, taxable institution in Athens.  Concubines could become part of the oikos if a man decided to bring her and keep her in the home.  The sexual mores of Athenians differed greatly from ours.

Flute girls were hired entertainers who not only played flutes at symposia, or dinner parties, but also provided sexual entertainment for the guests.

Hetairai were well-educated courtesans who were courted for both beauty and intelligence.  Most were wealthy and had wealthy clients or “friends.”  None of these women were considered marriageable,

The typical male citizen spent his time in the agora, where he did his business and greeted friends, or at the gymnasia or dinner parties with friends.  Male citizens usually had a good amount of leisure time, thanks to slaves.  Some consider slavery institutional in developing democracy, since it allowed men time for public participation.

Men were at home usuall for meals and sleeping, other wise they were out.  Business was done in the morning, and pleasure filled up the rest of the day. 

Gymnasia were large parks that offered the male citizen places to exercise, bathe, talk, read, or listen to musicians.

Men often hosted dinner parties at their home (which women could not attend) and provided food and entertainment for their friends

Children remained in the domain of women until a suitable age for education. 

Boys were drilled early in grammar, music, and exercise.  When they turned 18 they took the oath of citizenship and served in the military for two years.

Girls were allowed to play at home with sisters, cousins, and slaves.  They were usually married at about 14, so they spent their younger years learning how to keep house with their mothers
