What were the four social classes of the American colonies?

Social class of the New England colonies weren't quite as drastic as that of the Chesapeake colonies. At the top were the clergymen, as New England life typically centered around religion, usually Puritan. Then came the white men, who generally owned small farms or businesses and had a family. Naturally, after that came the women, who were expected to give birth to and raise the children. At the bottom were the (very few) black slaves. Social classes were fairly equal, and the only difference between classes were the level of responsibility each had to the community.

Financially, the classes went similarly to ours today, based on wealth and possessions, with an upper, middle, and lower class.
