Answer 1

In the Colonial United States, just like in any other region in the pre-industrial era, the vast majority of people were farmers. The proportion of people that lived on farms was around 90 percent. Most ot these lived in small farms that they owned, especially in the Northern States and Appalachia, were large farms, plantations and slavery were rare.
