People settled in Delaware for 2 reasons mostly. One was that Delaware accepted different religions without any discrimination. The second was that the land itself was rich with nutrients and similar things and was great for having farms.
Peasants grew the crops and tended the livestock. They generally rented strips of land from th elrod of the manor, and paid rent in in the form of labour on the lord's own farm (demesne). Peasants made money by selling their surplus produce. In time, this labour rent was replaced by cash rent, which was more convenient for both lord and peasant. some peasants worked as paid labor on the lord's demesne, or sometimes poor peasants with little or no land of their own worked for wealthier peasants as servants or laborers.
Popular vote is the amount of votes that exist nationwide and that can get cast during a voting process. In some countries it represents the number of electors while in some it represents the general population that has come of age and has voting rights. In history the number of voters was much lower since not everyone was a part of the popular vote.
