Life in the Colonies Julia People moved to Southern Colonies because it had lots of farmland, a hot climate and more freedom than any of the other 13 colonies. The man in the family was in charge, and what they said went. They made all the decisions, and still helped out around the house. The slaves planted the crops and dad would make sure the slaves did a good job. Slaves cooked, planted, chopped fire wood, and cleaned the home. The wives were in charge of taking care of the children. They made clothing and candles for the house. The husbands were in charge of the family including the wife. The southern colonies had many different kind of people which led to different lives.

Clothing Merrick Women wore petticoats and cotton dresses. Girls wore just cotton dresses. Men and boys wore breeches, a shirt, a hat, and boots or shoes. There was a lot of clothing made from sheep’s wool. Silk and fabric was something the richer people wore. They wore the same types of clothes all year long. A colonial man’s suit had so many parts to it it was hard to count. Clothing also was not very comfortable, and it was very hot to wear all those layers in the summer.

The poor ate corn bread, pork, greens, fried chicken, and organ meats. The colonists quickly adapted to the Foods of the Native Americans.

Education Julia Children in these colonies learned how to read, write and pray in school. Kids were taught by their parents until the age of 12-13 where then they would start to do other things. Boys would help out with the maintenance of the farm or go to college. They could decide what they wanted to do. Girls, though could not. They had one choice and that one choice they had to do. For girls they would help around the house but if they were rich they could get a private tutor to help them with their education. Education was not very important to their culture. Slaves were not allowed to go to school.
