In American society during the 16oo's the gap between rags and riches was easier to jump. It compares to Britain with the fact that in Britain they had the king who appointed a lot of things. ''The crown made the choices.'' Americans had a better chance to become wealthy. If you bought a slaves you could easily become wealthy. Though many wealthy people did not want to intermingle with poor people. You also have to account the harshest society class of African American slaves.

1603 is in the seventeenth century. (You might think it should be in the 16th, but the 1600's are in the 17th century is because there was no zero-th century. The first century ran from year 1 to 100. years 101 through 199 are in the second century; years 201 to 299 are in the third century, etc. People like to argue about what century 100,200,300,.. 1600 are in.
Oh, what a happy little question! In the 17th century, we have the years from 1601 to 1700. That's a whole 100 years of history to explore and enjoy. Just imagine all the beautiful landscapes and stories waiting to be discovered in that time period.
