Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Life was harsh!. Food was hunted and grown with alot of time spent preparing it for storage!. Clothes were made by hand at home with alot of the material spun from raw materials!. In the mountains there was no electricity or indoor plumbing!. Transportation was by horse and buggy!. People died young from what are now treatable deises!. Death was a constant in everyones life!. Large families were the norm and hard work was expected from even the youngest of children!. People rose before sun rise and went to bed shortly after sun set!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Go to a small out-of-the-way western town of village!. What they've got in the general store is more or less what you could get then!. Within reason! No mobile phones, some icecream - one flavour, no electrics!. Not much was prepacked!. Most stuff was sold in bottles, barrels, boxes or by the yard!.
Someone in the mountains would be just as much of a hillibilly as he would be now!.
Slavery was abolished in 1863!.
There was some kind of ruckuss amongst them stoopid Europeans!. The called it the Great War there!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very vague questions - mountains!?well-off!? In Europe, some people still kept servants!. It all depends on where you were!. If you were in Berlin, than there might not have been any food in the shops!. There was the first world war going on!. Shops, which weren't being bombed or ransacked would have sold the usual stuff, but in a different style!.
