After the war the South was left in ruins so, many southerrners struggled to find work. Many landowners in the south paid workers ( African americans who had been enslaved) to harvest their crops by letting them keep a share of the crops that they harvested. This was called sharecropping.

I affected their lives because many of them had lost homes, farms and in turn they were busy trying to get back all they had before. Primarily, they were trying to fit back into the union and go about life as usual.

What caused US Reconstruction to be doomed?

Reconstruction was doomed from the start because southerners had to account for their terrible loss. This was in lives and their patrimony. The acceptance of any Reconstruction policy would have negated the cause for which they fought for and so many died. When Congress imposed a reconstruction policy that included even a small sense of black civil equality & black suffrage, most white southerners could & did not accept the legitimacy of governments that were elected. The white South was never more the "solid South" than in the period of Congressional Reconstruction. This was regretful, but the results speak for themselves.
