Answer: The population explosion in North America from 1680 to 1750 was fed from both internal and external sources. Among whites, a higher marriage rate, larger families, and lower mortality rate than in Europe prevailed by the 1720s. Immigrants of this era arrived from Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, and Africa rather than England, and they were mostly indentured servants and slaves. Only a small proportion of the eighteenth-century arrivals achieved their dream of becoming independent landholders.
