It begins with the description, positioning and analysis of the peasant population during the construction of the republic, influencing the mistreatment and abandonment of peasants in the country, seeking and achieving better living conditions, and affecting their struggle for survival and their lifetime. The methodology is Historical Comparative for the bibliographic review of the origin, location and development of farmers, it is also ethnographic because data from the Ministry of Agriculture was used.
