Slaves

= ﻿Yeoman Farmers =

﻿Yeoman farmers were around in the early 1900's and they were very different from the average farmers that lived around North Carolina because they were very poor and they're main focuses in life were their families and their neighborhoods. When they were getting married, the groom, who normally got married around the age of their early twenties, would go to the bride's home, who normally married around their late teens, with his attendants and give his soon-to-be father-in-law a present. After the wedding, friends and family would throw a party for the newlyweds where they would dance and eat. After they were married, most couples would have 5 or 6 children to help do chores and work around the house.
