    This document provides information about colonial life in three sentences or less: Colonial society was divided between large plantation owners who relied on indentured servants and slave labor to grow cash crops like tobacco and rice, small family farms that were mostly self-sufficient, and towns where merchants, craftsmen and farmers lived and participated in town meetings. Political power was held by royal governors and their colonial assemblies, though in some colonies religious leaders and wealthy plantation owners also wielded influence. The economies and landscapes varied between the Southern colonies with their long growing seasons and cash crop agriculture, and the New England colonies which had more small, self-governing towns and a diversity of livelihoods like farming, fishing, whaling and shipbuilding
