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.
