Wealth in the America's
Wealth in the America's could be reflected from the shoes that people wear to the house that one may live it. Being wealthy is something many dreamed of and their wealth was measured by what type material of clothing as well as the color and even artwork on anything that they own. Wealth was measured by many things that only a certain amount of people were able to show off.
People were able to become wealthy do to their professional life by making money as a lawyer, judge, or by being a slave owner.
