Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Landless whites in the South between 1830 and 1860 often struggled to save enough money from their meager wages to buy land. Although steady employment was possible, it did not necessarily lead to upward mobility, as wages tended to be low and opportunities for advancement limited. Public relief agencies were not generally available, and their economic status was generally lower than that of yeoman farmers, who owned their own land.
