However unfree peasants, also called villeins or serfs, differed from free peasants in that they had to work for the lord and farm the lord’s demesne (Gies and Gies 205-206).

Conclusion: Jenna Geaney, Samantha Nilsen, and Marissa Schrade Farming was originally invented in 9,000 BC. However, it was finally brought to America in the 1600s. It was first brought to America in Jamestown, which was the first American colony. However, prior to Jamestown there were many Native American tribes who farmed.
