Jobs and their Typical Work Days Some jobs of colonial times are Milliners, Blacksmiths, and Carpenters and joiners. Milliners made things like shifts, gowns, aprons, hats, and cloaks. Blacksmiths were crafters of hardware and tools. Carpenters and joiners made things out of wood, such as cabinets. Some jobs in colonial times included skill, and people would mainly work long hours. People used tools such as anvils, hammers, tongs, chisels, and files.

Games and music Fifes and Snare Drums were important to music in the colonial era. Harpsichords were used also. People played board games, puzzles, cards, and ninepins. They also walked on stilts and rolled hoops.

3 Regions of the 13 Colonies One of the regions of the 13 colonies is the New England region, which consist of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, it has cold winters and mild summers, and it mainly relied on ship building. The others are the Middle region and the Southern region. The Middle region consists of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and is a farming society that has cold winters and warm summers. The Southern region consists of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, and has mild winters and warm summers, large plantations and slavery.

Slavery Slavery is a practice of capturing Africans and selling them to paying people. The Southern region became most dependent on slavery because their economy was almost entirely based on farming and slaves were mainly used as laborers on plantations. They could work in the plantation owner’s house, or out in the fields.

Education Most people in colonial times could neither read nor write. Children who could afford education would use tools such as slate boards, educational puzzles, and eighteenth-century children’s books. Adults that could read mainly read newspapers.

Shelter and Furnishings If you were poor in colonial times, you would use what you could to build a house, but dugout houses were popular. If you were middle classed you would have a moderate sized house, probably with a keeping room and an attic. If you were rich you would probably live in a big house or mansion. What furnished homes were mainly cabinets, chairs, a clothes press, a desk, a bookcase, a bureau table, a writing table, and a clock. If you were rich you would probably have marble statues in your home.

Clothing Clothes in colonial times consisted of shirts, shifts, aprons, shoes, neckerchiefs, caps, cloaks, hoods, hats, muffs, gowns, breeches, under petticoats,and hoop petticoats. They also had ruffles and trim for gowns.

Food There were many dishes in colonial times. Pumpkin gnocchi and tidewater chili are some of them. People could catch lobsters, and fish for salmon and other kinds of fish. They could also hunt or farm.
