The top level of the social hierarchy in colonial Georgia were the large plantation owning families. They existed in a neo-feudal affluence, creating a rich, leisure class. Beneath them were the farmers, who worked the land themselves without slaves, and were generally poor to lower middle class. Beneath this group were the indentured servants, who were treated a bit better than slaves, but not by much. However, there was an end to their indenture, at which point, many acquired land, and became small farmers. At the bottom were the slaves. Though the hardest working of the hierarchy, they got nothing for it. They were oppressed, in many cases worked to death, did not have representative legislation, and were considered property, not people.
