Did mostly merchants settle in the northern colonies?
No. Most people in all the colonies were farmers. Farming was a lot less efficient before modern times. Farmers worked very hard but produced much less food than they do today. It took a lot more farmers to feed the people. As late as 1900 in the US one person out of three was a farmer. Another way of looking at it is that one farmer could only feed two other people in 1900, and by 1900 farming was more efficient than in colonial times. Today only one person in sixty is a farmer in the US. There was no way to transport crops over long distances, except maybe between cities near the coast. But moving foodstuffs by ship is expensive. Everywhere people lived in the colonies, most of them were farmers, and their crops went to feed their neighbors and their own families.

What were some major problems facing American farmers in the 1920s?
The farmers bought more land during WW1 to make a profit from the starving people of Europe. After the war the US was thriving and charged high taxes to foreign companies, ensuring that US companies had no foreign competitors. Unfortunately, this made Europe boycott US exports, leaving the farmers producing too much with not as many people to sell it to, which wasn't helped by the US's falling population. Then more efficient Canadian wheat growers sold wheat at a better deal than US farmers. Finally, the farmers bought machinery on a loan basis; as they overproduced and demand went down, they had to sell food at a minimum price to still pay loans. This failed and many lost their farms as a result. Not all farmers lost land; specialist farmers succeeded by selling fresh fruit and vegetables, such as lettuce, to the rich.
