Respuesta:

In 1775, over two million people lived in the thirteen

American colonies and about 500,000 of them lived

in Virginia, the largest and most populous colony.

Many of these people were farmers or planters who

lived and worked on small farms of less than two

hundred acres. A relatively small number of

Virginians were wealthy planters or merchants, and

only about two percent of the population lived in

Virginia’s few small towns or cities like York, Norfolk, Richmond, Williamsburg, or Fredericksburg.

About 200,000 of the people living in Virginia were

enslaved African Americans most of whom worked in

tobacco fields for white masters.

A small farmer living in Virginia about the time of

the American Revolution was probably concerned

mainly with surviving and trying to improve the lives

of himself and his family. Whether he was a recent

immigrant from England, Scotland, Ireland, or Germany, or a native Virginian, he probably hoped to improve his

life by earning enough money to secure more land and nicer possessions.

How did planters earn a living?

To earn a living, planters grew some type of cash crop that could be sold for money or credit in order to buy needed

tools, livestock, and household goods which could not be produced on the farm. Before the American Revolution,

tobacco was the crop most Virginians grew and sold to

English and Scottish merchants. Toward the end of the

eighteenth century, however, many farmers began growing

grains like wheat, oats and corn. These crops took fewer

workers to grow, did not deplete the nutrients in the soil the

way tobacco did, and were in great demand in Europe and the

West Indies. Although many Virginians began growing

these grains, tobacco continued to be the colony’s largest

export crop.
