How did white landowners in the South reassert their economic power following the US Civil War?

The former slave owners would offer the slaves pieces of the plantation to live and work for a part of the profit. This was called sharecropping and it enabled the former slaves and their owners to both make money. The plantation owner couldn't farm the land by himself so deals were make to farm the land together. Poor whites also went in partners as sharecroppers with the land owners so as to survive. The north had devastated the southern land and survival was accomplished by sticking together and living off the land. Northern senators did everything to punish the south so money was scarce to re building. It took the south about 40 years to get back on her feet.In addition white supremacy groups such as the Ku Klux Klan kept Blacks in fear for their lives as the Klan killed and burned down Freed Men and their churches.1 year ago
