Just about everyone in the typical Yeoman farmer family had a job or chores they were required to do to help out on the land and they often dreaded it. For example, men had to tend to the plantations while women tended the house. Children even had to help gather and collect items and food necessary to keep the family going. Yeoman farmers were also craftsman skilled in carpentry and blacksmithing therefore they were able to produce some income. Due to their abilities to make money and own land the men of this class were able to vote.

It ended centuries of oppression and provided the peasants the opportunity to own land, vote, and live freely in society. The emancipation taught the peasantry that even under an autocratic rule, reform is achievable. The industrial revolution sent many of the peasants from the rural farms to the urban areas to work in factories. However, the peasants had simply traded the oppressive agrarian life for an equally oppressive urban industrial life.
Despite the hardships, the farmers united to fight this growing problem. The farmers during the Industrial Revolution had only adapted to the aspects that benefitted them and fought against the features of this era that harmed them. For example, although the farmers became more social and reliant on each other, they were not making as much money as they were before. Because of the decrease in revenue, they created the Farmer’s Alliance and the Populist platform to fight the big
Instead of going to school, the majority of children opted to work. The reason they were hired continuously was due to their “[usefulness] as laborers because their size allowed them to move in small spaces in factories or mines where adults couldn’t fit… [and] could be paid less than adults” (History). These children had the ability to rise above their dismal situations, but were denied it because their parents, who also worked for these millionaires, had low wages. Taking away such a fundamental right is disgusting, and none should have the power to limit other’s success for their own.
People in the New England region mainly done small scale farming due to long winters and poor soil conditions. The New England colonies built the economy through fishing, whaling, shipbuilding, trading, and lumber. The New England region was also mainly industrial and focused more

The jobs mainly are lower end because the rich paid the poor to go instead to war when the rich men were drafted. For the north Most of the jobs were industrial since they had an industrial economy. Most of the southern jobs were in farming since there was an agricultural economy (Whitehead2016).Some of the jobs in the north included accountants, teachers, and surveyors (Historynet2016).

In the early 1800s, the south—and most of the north, for that matter—used a subsistence economy, where crops and goods were made locally by families for themselves and their communities. Family farms were basically forced to use a subsistence economy, simply because the lack of fast transportation. If they attempted to ship their crops to other ports and towns where it was needed, the crops would rot well before they ever made it. In the south, cotton was made using slave labor, but the harvests weren’t as large as they could be. The process of harvesting was slow—as it was with many crops across the north and south—and the wield was decent.
This didn’t change because most freedmen still had no way of making money for themselves, so they were not apart of the American economy. It also showed that even though slavery had been abolished, African Americans would still have a long and rough journey before being treated as equals.
However, the economic crises in 1837 collapsed the labor unions because of economic hard times, and with immigrants coming in surplus willing to work for cheap, regular people could not compete and thus had to work at the beckon of the factories. Labor unions worked when the economy was resilient, but when the economy was shocked, everyone was too afraid of demanding more when there were those willing to work for

During this period we start to see gender roles take place in the slave’s work duties. Men and Women worked in fields almost equally picking cotton and other grains in various parts of the south. Many even built roads to allow the transportation of goods to reach one place to the other.
