Farmers and laborers made up the Sumerian
class. (middle/working)

True, if you classify it more specifically, Farmers were the working class but were the bottom class and the middle class consisted of craftspeople and merchants.

Explanation:

To describe the hierarchy of ancient Sumer briefly.

At the top was the king, followed by priests and nobles. Craftspeople and merchants were the middle class. Farmers were in the working class, and slaves were at the bottom.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
