During Reconstruction, the South underwent significant political, social, and economic changes. The Reconstruction Acts established military rule in several Southern states, leading to the enfranchisement of African American men and the election of Black officials to local and state offices. Additionally, efforts were made to rebuild the economy, transitioning from plantation-based agriculture to more diversified farming, although many former slaves remained in economically exploitative sharecropping arrangements. However, these changes faced severe backlash, culminating in the rise of White supremacist groups and the eventual establishment of Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation.
