A peasant didn't become a merchant. People didn't change positions or life styles like people today. Born a peasant stayed a peasant. It was very simple everyone knew their place.
In most cases a peasant became a peasant by default. If the parents where peasants the child was also a peasant.
A merchant is someone who buys and sells objects for a living. A medieval merchant is one who did that during the Middle Ages

A serf is a peasant who was bound to the land they worked on, unable to leave without permission from their lord. This system of serfdom was common in feudal societies during the Middle Ages.
During the late Middle Ages, the merchant class and traders experienced growth and expansion due to increased trade and commerce. They formed guilds to regulate their activities and protect their interests. However, they also faced challenges such as economic instability, conflicts with nobility, and the effects of the Black Death.

Middle class
In 1788 there were no peasants since it is 200 years after the middle ages. __ There were peasants in Europe after the Middle Ages. LOTS of peasants. Russia had a large peasant population up to the Revolution. As did virtually every country in Europe. China also had a large peasant population. The Middle Ages had NOTHING to do with the end of peasant life. Peasant life would have been hard. Difficult work, no education and little opportunity to leave the land. It would not have been very different than the life of a peasant during the Medieval period.
In the Middle Ages there was no social diversity. People were born into a class of people and that is where they stayed. If they were a peasant they stayed a peasant, a serf stayed a serf, clergy stayed with the church, and the nobility stayed in their class. A noble didn't marry a peasant and a peasant didn't become educated since there were no schools. There was no upward mobility within the society.
