Solution

C. Most Southerners were agrarians.

During the 1800s, the Southern United States was primarily an agrarian society. They relied heavily on agriculture, with farms and plantations growing crops such as cotton and tobacco. While there were certainly individuals who worked in other professions, such as hunting, mining, or smelting, these were not the predominant occupations. Therefore, the statement "Most Southerners were agrarians" is true.
