The yeoman wanted to leave the South primarily due to economic challenges and the declining viability of small-scale farming. Factors such as poor soil quality, competition from larger plantations, and falling crop prices made it increasingly difficult for yeomen to sustain their livelihoods. Additionally, social and political tensions, particularly surrounding issues of slavery and land ownership, contributed to a desire for new opportunities elsewhere. Seeking a better life, many yeomen looked to the West for potential land and prosperity.

'yeoman' farmers in the south possessed?

Yeoman farmers in the South were typically small landowners who cultivated their own land and relied on family labor rather than enslaved workers. They often owned modest plots of land and engaged in subsistence farming, growing crops for their own consumption and local markets. This group played a crucial role in the agricultural economy of the South, representing a middle class that valued independence and self-sufficiency. Despite their relatively small scale, yeoman farmers contributed significantly to the regional identity and social structure of Southern society.
