Yeomen+Farmers+&+Slaves

Yeomen farmers were farmers who grew just enough crops to feed their family. In the 1800s many North Carolinians were considered to be yeomen. They lived their lifestyle according to the seasons, family, and the neighborhood. There weren't as many slaves in North Carolina as other states but they still were owned by wealth families. Most North Carolina slaves worked on large plantations (huge farms). On the plantations they would either work in the house of the plantation, and do chores such as caring for the master's children, or work outside, and do tasks such as growing crops.   --media type="custom" key="8167360"
