The Mid-Atlantic Colonies

Public art created by slave craftsmen is an important contribution to the colonial economy. In the colonies of New England and the Mid Atlantic, slaves were treated as goldsmiths, cabinet builders, sculptors, sculptors, carpenters, masons, and iron workers. The architecture and decoration of Janson House built in the Hudson River in 1712 is a work of African-American. Many of the oldest buildings in Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia are built by slave of craftsmen.

During the 18th century American colonial period, society was diverse and complicated. The colonial society consists of several social classes. In the three major geographical areas, the social stratum of the South, North and Central Atlantic differs greatly due to the natural environment and social policy. Social class is the method of ranking. Some people are strong, others are weak in status and power. People are ranked according to their economic capacity, job status or land ownership. Human social classes determine political and legal rights, personal outfits, and even church seats. In colonial America there are three major social classes. They are gentry, middle class, and poor people

The topography and navigable rivers in the Atlantic Ocean region bring a dispersed settlement pattern. The state of Pennsylvania is known as the "poorest country" and for the most part of the 18th century there is no difficulty in gathering a settlement. It is Iowa's "Granary" or today's Kansas colony in the United States. The Dutch in New York, Wales and Swedish in Pennsylvania, and the public reconciliation of religious opponents - the Moravian in Germany - are due to the emergence of land for various building customs (stone barn) and planting And the pioneer of the change method brought pioneers from Europe. From mid-nineteenth to late, German and Scandinavian immigrant farmers repeated this pattern at the upper part of the Midwest.
