Colonial society in the 13 colonies was rapidly growing and becoming more diverse in the 1700s. The population increased from 300,000 in 1700 to over 2.5 million in 1775, shifting political power away from Britain. Immigrants from many European countries intermingled with the English population, creating a unique American identity. Slavery increased the racial diversity in the South. By 1775, most people lived east of the Allegheny Mountains, with some pioneers moving west. Agriculture was the primary occupation for 90% of colonists. Dissatisfaction with British trade policies led colonists to seek new foreign markets.
