Agriculture in the New South largely failed to achieve the transformative shift envisioned by its supporters. While there was some diversification and the introduction of new crops, the region remained heavily reliant on cotton and sharecropping systems that perpetuated poverty and economic dependency for many African Americans and poor whites. The hoped-for industrialization and modernization did occur in some areas, but the agricultural sector often lagged behind, maintaining a cycle of economic challenges rather than leading to the promised prosperity. Overall, the vision of a thriving, diversified agricultural economy was not fully realized.
