Before the Civil War, land in the South was predominantly owned by wealthy plantation owners who relied on enslaved labor for large-scale agriculture, particularly cotton production. After the war, during the Reconstruction era, land distribution began to change as policies like the Freedmen's Bureau aimed to provide land to formerly enslaved individuals. However, many freedmen faced challenges in acquiring land, leading to sharecropping systems that often kept them in poverty and dependency. Ultimately, significant land ownership remained concentrated among the white elite, perpetuating economic disparities.
