Best Answer

Following the Civil War, much of the very small industrial base of the South had been destroyed, and it had lost much of the agricultural base. Money issued by the Confederate Government was worthless. A combination of no food, no money, no places to work- and combine that with the death or disability of many men that had entered the army. Hard times, indeed.

What was reconstruction about?

the Reconstruction Era has two uses; the first covers the entire nation in the period 1865-1877 following theCivil War; the second one, used in this article, covers the transformation of the Southern United States from 1863 to 1877, with the reconstruction of state and society in the former Confederacy. Three amendments to the Constitution affected the entire nation. In the different states, Reconstruction began and ended at different times; federal Reconstruction policies were finally abandoned with the Compromise of 1877.[1]Reconstruction policies were debated in the North when the war began, and commenced in earnest after the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863. Reconstruction policies were implemented when a Confederate state came under the control of the Union Army
