Question

what were the hardship face​

Answer 1

spite of his remarkable progress, the American farmer in the 19th century experienced recurring periods of hardship. Several basic factors were involved - soil exhaustion, the vagaries of nature, overproduction of staple crops, decline in self-sufficiency, and lack of adequate legislative protection and aid. Southern soil had long been exhausted by tobacco and cotton culture, but in the west, and on the plains too, soil erosion, wind storms, and insect pests ravaged the land.
