2 New Hampshire’s Jobs and Professions
The jobs in New Hampshire were broken up depending on your class in society. Some jobs in the colony include manual workers, servants, apprentices, sailors, hired hands and semi-skilled tradesmen. These were jobs for the middle and lower classes. High class jobs include owning businesses, skilled tradesman, and hold public office. The Middle class society could hold public office but only little of them did.

3 New Hampshire’s System of Labor
Slaves- A person who is the legal property of someone else and is forced to obey them. The first African slaves were brought to New Hampshire by 1645. New Hampshire became the base or hub for slaves and smuggled slaves into other colonies. Although New Hampshire had slaves, other colonies in the North did not have slaves and wanted to abolish it.

4 New Hampshire’s Relations With Indians/ Natives
Relations with the Indians were not too violent until King Philip's war in 1676 The colonist stayed closer to the shore of the Atlantic so they could stay in touch with England. They did this because they were very afraid of the Natives. The colonist have some interaction with the Natives though. Some colonist traded with the Natives for “life skills.” Despite the limited action between the two, the English built defences just in case of a conflict.

5 King Philip’s War( ) It was the last major effort of Natives of Southern New England to drive out the English Settlers. The tensions were spilling over the stop of the collapse of the trade partnerships. Pokanoket chief Metacom a.k.a as King Philip led an uprising of the tribes in the area. Tribes in this area include Wanapoag, Nipmuck, Pocumtuck, and the Narragansett tribes. The fighting lasted 14 months and destroyed 12 borderline towns The war ended shortly after Metacom was captured and beheaded Although the Indians didn’t start a war earlier their hatred of the English was building in the 1660’s The Indians were highly dependent on the English for weapons, food, and other goods. When the English stopped their trading with the Natives and forced leaders like Metacom to realize their dominance over them. Although Metacom a.k.a King Philip did not appreciate this treatment other Indians sided with the British. This is the theory of why the war started.
