Work in Colonial America
Most people in North America lived by farming. It was back-breaking work and usually lasted from dawn to dusk. However in the south by the 18th century, great plantations existed alongside the many small farms. In North America there were the same craftsmen found in Europe such as carpenters, coopers, tanners, millers and blacksmiths. There were also apothecaries who sold drugs. By the 18th century most towns had specialized trades such as gunsmiths, locksmiths, clock and watch makers, silversmiths and cabinet makers. In the north shipbuilding flourished in the 18th century and there were many shipwrights, caulkers, rope makers, block makers and sailmakers.
