The term "New South" pertains to the American South after Reconstruction and is usually concerned with the period from 1876 to the Civil Rights Era. The concept of the New South includes the industralization of the Southern States, for example textile manufacturing, tobacco products, and steel (in the Birmingham AL area), race relations and segregation, and the rise of political power in the South at that time. The Old South (antebellum, or before the war) was replaced by the New South (a mixture of boosterism, industralization, segregation and populism) after Reconstruction.
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.

Democrats blocked many federal reconstruction policies, and reversed many reforms of the reconstruction legislature. This voting block was known as the Solid South.
The beginning of Reconstruction is often marked by the passage of the 13th Amendment in December 1865, which abolished slavery in the United States. This period aimed to rebuild the South and integrate formerly enslaved individuals into society as free citizens. It involved significant political, social, and economic changes, including the establishment of new laws and institutions to support African American rights. The era lasted until 1877, when federal troops withdrew from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction efforts.
