Answer:

The correct answer is B. The largest group of whites in the south were yeomen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeomen farmers were farmers who, unlike the planters, worked his fields themselves without the use of slaves.

A Yeoman had enough property to provide or lease a farm with sufficient land for his children, without having to pursue further employment as farmers. They usually owned no less than 40 hectares.
