    Explanation: Northern merchants antagonized Greenville's policies by wanting to evade the taxes established by the British Crown, as they claimed they were very high. As for the settlers in the north of the country, they were in the middle of a shortage of land for cultivation, which made them migrate to the South, where large plantations were concentrated, which meant less economic opportunities for those in the South. The Plantadores del Sur, just wanted to increase their production in the plantations of cotton, tobacco, sugar and other products of the region, so they bought large quantities of slaves to exploit them in these plantations. As for small farmers, due to the small or small number of labor, their income was also very small, which affected the economic life of this part of the country. The city workers had few job opportunities, so many of them had to work as servants, some in handicrafts and another in the plantations, work that was poorly paid and generated disgust among them.
