because of the [[Southern Homestead Act]]
Because the south gave up.
tenant farming
Because the south was unhappy about the end of the civil war. Abraham Lincoln created amendments which gave rights to the slaves.
South Carolina
In the beginning of the Civil War the North was fighting to join the South back into the Union. While to the South the war was about defense, to protect their new country Confederate States of America(C.S.A). By the end of the war the North was fighting against the 'Peculiar Institution in other words slavery, while the South was fighting to save it.
At the very end, the Confederates started recruiting slaves into the army. Whether they ceased to be the property of their owners, I don't know. Property of the army and the government, I would guess.
Apparently the south lost the civil war which in turn means the north controlled the south.
VIRGINIA!
Vast stretches of the south lay in ruins
Civil service reform
The 1862 US Civil War Battle of Shiloh had produced the largest number of casualties to that point in the war. There were approximately 29,000 casualties in total with the South bearing almost 10,000. General Grant believed that the South would be unable to sustain such losses and continue to defend itself. Although the Union had a slightly higher number of losses in the battle, Grant realized that the Union had the ability to recruit soldiers from its larger population. He therefore concluded that the South, in the face of absorbing more combat losses would end their rebellion.
