The most obvious reason for the southern tradition is the black eyed peas are for luck and the cabbage is for wealth, but there is more behind this then most will know. The reason many southern households have this new years meal dates back to the civil war. When the Yankees invaded Atlanta they burnt the city to the ground leaving everything destroyed except for the blacked eyed peas and cabbage as they considered this nothing more than horse feed so for an entire year the survivors of the siege had nothing to live on but these two crops which is why to this day many southerners share this meal at the start of a new year.
