    The economy of Virginia colony relied heavily on farming and slave labor. Slaves grew and harvested the primary crops of tobacco, cotton, and sugar. Religion played a central role in society, with mandatory church services lasting up to five hours each Sunday. Entertainment for colonial children included board games and cards, while adults engaged in activities like fox hunting, cockfighting, and dancing. Education varied by region, with public schools available in New England but often dependent on hired teachers or religious affiliation elsewhere. Typical colonial clothing consisted of dresses for women and breeches or shirts for men and boys. Staple foods incorporated cornbread, pork, and organ meats, while wealthier colonists could enjoy roast beef and other finer cuts of meat.
