Final answer:

It is false that Virginia provided well and opportunity to all, regardless of social classes. Tobacco farming created economic growth but also enhanced social stratification with the use of indentured servants and slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false that Virginia was able to become an absolute contrast to England, providing well and opportunity to all without the social classes left behind in England. While tobacco farming brought economic opportunities, it did not erase social stratification. Indentured servants and later enforced racial distinctions and slavery showed that opportunities were not available to all equally. Over time, land ownership and the headright policy facilitated the accumulation of wealth for some, but societal hierarchies were still evident. Religious freedom was indeed more pronounced in certain colonies, but this did not fully translate to a classless society.
