The Reshaping Of Everyday Life The cultural and developmental aspects of American history in the 17th and 18th centuries are certainly among the most important and influential factors in the shaping of this country's long and storied history. The society that existed at that time had very different views on life and how it should occur. The daily routines were unlike ours even though it may be hard to believe. Even families, which seem to be a non-changing in history, were also distinct in size and order. A big change that occurred was the growth of the country. When the settlers first came to America they settled in villages near the coast. As more and more people migrated to America land for farming started to become scarce. There started to become a larger demand for land due to the fact that agriculture was the leading occupation for new settlers.
