Peasants

Peasants traditionally refer to rural, agrarian laborers, especially in historical contexts, who worked the land for subsistence or for local markets. They often lived in small villages and relied on farming, livestock, and sometimes crafts for their livelihood. Historically, peasants faced social and economic challenges, living under feudal systems where land was owned by nobles. Their lives were shaped by agriculture, seasonal changes, and the demands of landlords or governments. Although conditions varied widely across regions and eras, peasants played a crucial role in food production and the economy of their societies.
