During Reconstruction, the old plantation system was largely replaced by sharecropping and tenant farming. These systems allowed formerly enslaved individuals and poor white farmers to work the land in exchange for a share of the crop, rather than direct ownership. While this provided some economic opportunity, it often perpetuated a cycle of debt and poverty, keeping many in a state of economic dependency similar to that of the pre-Civil War era. Additionally, landowners retained significant control over the agricultural economy, limiting true independence for laborers.

After the Civil War, the plantation system was largely replaced by sharecropping and tenant farming. These systems allowed formerly enslaved individuals and poor white farmers to work land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crop. While it provided some economic opportunities, it often resulted in a cycle of debt and poverty, maintaining a level of exploitation similar to that of the pre-war plantation economy. This transition significantly shaped the agricultural landscape of the South during Reconstruction and beyond.

During Reconstruction, social adjustments in the South included the abolition of slavery, the enfranchisement of African Americans, and the attempt to rebuild the region's infrastructure and economy. Economically, the South faced challenges such as land redistribution, labor shortages, and the need for new systems of labor and agriculture. The region also experienced economic devastation from the Civil War and the end of the plantation system, leading to a period of adjustment and reconstruction.
