What were the main cash crops in the south during reconstruction?

During Reconstruction, a new system of farming was developed. The neo-peonage method of using tenant farmers on farms came to be known as sharecropping. The economic devastation of the south led to most of the land being used for cash crops rather than subsistence farming. Cash crops were the traditional antebellum ones like tobacco, cotton, sugar and rice.


How was labor reconfigured in the South?

Labor in the South was reconfigured primarily through the transition from slavery to sharecropping and tenant farming after the Civil War. Freed African Americans sought economic independence but often found themselves trapped in exploitative arrangements that perpetuated poverty and dependency. Sharecropping allowed landowners to maintain control over labor while providing former slaves with minimal compensation and little opportunity for advancement. This system reinforced racial and economic hierarchies that persisted well into the 20th century.
