Had a proportionately larger number of "middle rank" residents
Explanation:
The North American colonies were much more egalitarian than England (this applies to white people, enslaved africans were treated worse than medieval serfs).
This is because there was a lot of land available, and many people became landowners, instead of working someone else's farm.
Besides, the colonies did not have an established aristocracy with titles of nobilty, which means that they did not have an elite that extracted resources from the poor under the excuse of nobility.
