"The Negro Farmer" by Carl Kelsey is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This thesis explores the socio-economic conditions and challenges faced by African American farmers in the South after the Civil War, contextualizing their struggles within a broader historical framework. The work aims to analyze the intricate relationship between geographic location, economic heritage, and the social environment that shaped the lives of Black farmers during this transformative period in American history. At the start of the publication, Kelsey addresses the ongoing complexities surrounding the "Negro Problem" in America. He discusses how misconceptions and limited understanding from both northern and southern perspectives have historically hindered effective solutions. The opening chapter reflects on the evolution of slavery and its aftermath, stressing the need for an informed examination of Black farmers' conditions. Kelsey highlights that, while some information from northern teachers and tourists may appear optimistic, it often fails to capture the challenges of everyday life for the average Negro farmer. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed analysis of agricultural zones, economic conditions, and social dynamics, aiming to provide a clearer understanding of the contributions and potential of African American farmers in the context of the South's agricultural landscape.
