what did the men do ?

[@fredjohnson7588]

At that time men would wake up at sunrise, do their farm chores then leave for their trade or profession. Sometimes their business was on the farm other times it was in the town. They would have been blacksmiths, coopers, mill workers, factory workers, wagon builders, merchants and other things in not thinking of. Women were home all day their jobs were literally at home farming cooking washing, raising the children. It was a hard life for everyone back then.
