Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In colonial America, work was required, at least for the lower classes, even for whites not bound in servitude. This was primarily due to the need to develop a self-sufficient economy and build up the infrastructure of the colonies. Indentured servants and later, slaves, were brought in to work in plantations and other industries, but even free whites were expected to work to support themselves and their families.
