Best Answer

With the devastation of plantations, homes, and land, the southern businessmen went to nearby towns or cities and attempted to raise money to pay taxes on their land levied by the reconstruction authorities and to begin businesses of their own. Gone were the great expanse of cotton fields and other food crops. Their economy was fast becoming dependent on money raising and borrowing abilities.
