Abstract:

Agricultural practices underwent revolutionary changes in the US during the antebellum period. However, in North Carolina many farmers were attached to customary ways and reluctant to change. There were some, however, who undertook to profit by agricultural reform. Sidney Weller of Halifax County became the head of agricultural reform in North Carolina, promoting the success he achieved in restoring his acres through new techniques and products.
