which of the following statements about life in the colonial south is NOT true??

life expentency was lower then in the New England colonies
gender ratios were realtively equal in the south
disease took more lives in the new england colonies
patriarchal authority exerted far less control then in New England

Answer 1

I would think the gender ratios were not equal. I would think there were more men than women in the colonial south who came from Europe to start a new life in the new world. They often went alone or before the women and children to make sure it was possible because the passage was difficult.

Answer 2

It is the second one.
