Question

What can you tell about the social background and Welty of the average passenger on each of the ships?

Answer 1

The people going to Virginia are usually not very rich because they are going on the boat perhaps as indentured servants, because they are youngmales coming in a large group, and may have not been able to afford

passage. The social background of the people going to New England is people are more varied because they are starting their community, and some are rich and some are poor, in a variety of professions.Does one of the ships have wealthier passengers? The New England ship has wealthier passengers, and there are servants on the ship for some of the richer passengers. However, Virginia has much more class division because all of these poor indentured servants are very separate from the large plantation owners.What do you predict the passengers on the America will do when they arrive in Virginia or New England?In Virginia, the passengers will probably go to work on a plantation as an indentured servant until they die or work off their debt and get a small pieceof land; in New England, they will form a (possibly Puritan) community, raise their family and continue their trade.
