has gloss | eng: The Plain Folk of the Old South refers to the middling class of white farmers in the American South before the Civil War. At the time they were often called "yeomen". They owned land and had no slaves or only a few. Many of them were Scotch-Irish American. Historians have devoted extensive research to their study, but they tend to be neglected in the popular literature, which focuses more on the rich plantation owners and the slaves. |
