Changes in the labor force:
40% of crops were now picked by whites
Emphasis on cash crops:
Mostly cash crops were grown now, so the south had to import much of their food.
Cycle of Debt:
Rural poverty was a big thing in the south, when they made their yearly profit, it went towards paying off last years debt. This led most people into a vicious cycle of debt.
Rise of Merchants:
Stores in the south sprang up around plantations to sell supplies on credit, which made these new merchants a lot of money. Many landlords ran their own stores and forced their tenants to buy there at high prices.
to prevent this, congress passed the 14 amendement in June 1866 and submitted it to the state for approval.
It planned to rebuild mainly the economy of the South. It also planned to help African Americans with rights. The Freedman's Bureau helped the Blacks with education, jobs, and rights.
Reconstruction in the US was a disaster. It forced the South to be only Democratic for a hundred years and gave no real freedom to former slaves.
