Ashley's in the South,
Where there was almost no middle ground...

This Article is well worth Reading. It is applicable to all of the Ashley's Chart 2 participant's Ancestry. The south became a extremely increasingly tougher place to survive. No wonder we are desperately seeking out what the heck happened in the centuries after the revolution.

We never knew how tough we had it, until we visited our Northern cousins.and saw that they wore shoes and rode a bus to school.

It is worth noting that in New England there was a large group of middle-class houses, in contrast to the South, where there was almost no middle ground, architecturally, between the mansions of the wealthy and the cabins of the slaves.

As the eighteenth century progressed the houses of the middle class became small versions of the Georgian mansions the wealthy built. The flourishing colonial community boasted a number of churches, schools, colleges, and government buildings which, like the houses, reflected the Georgian style.
