Social groups were often divided by wealthy landowners, craftsmen, women, and slaves. Wealthy landowners predominantly lived in the Southern colonies and owned large plantations while enjoying an expensive lifestyle. They often depended on the work of indentured servants or slaves. Craftsmen often lived on plantations, or small villages and cities. They did not enjoy a costly lifestyle but were still needed. Women were the caretakers and house workers. Women were expected to fulfill specific duties such as taking care of the children, cleaning the house, preparing dinner, etc. A fair colonial life came from being a wealthy, white man.
