Answer:
In the summer, Cherokee homes were open to the air; in the winter, they were round buildings with strong walls built of daub, a grass and clay mixture. Wattle, a type of bark and branches, was used to make the roofing. Wigwams fashioned of sapling frames and covered in bark or mats made of grasses and reeds were the houses of the Catawba people. In their communities, council houses were present, where decisions were taken. Yemassee people spent the summer months in wigwams made of palmetto leaves on the seashore. They lived in wattle and daub homes like the Cherokee with a roof made of palmetto leaves during the fall, winter, and spring in Yemassee homes farther inland.

In his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn cites examples from US colonial history of the gap between rich and poor in colonial life.
A key study cited by Zinn examined tax registers from Boston, showing that the top 1% of the population held 25% of the wealth in 1687, and that by 1770, the top 1% of property owners in Boston owned 44% of the wealth. The study also noted that the bulk of Boston's population were not property owners. The percentage of adult males in Boston who owned no property doubled between 1687 and 1770 (from 14% to 29%).
Zinn cited additional items, regarding overcrowding of poorhouses (giving a notable example from New York) and a general increase throughout the colonies of the "wandering poor" who had no real means of support. He also cited examples of workers' strikes against employers in the colonies because of low wages.
