After the Civil War, Southern plantations faced significant challenges due to the abolition of slavery and the economic devastation of the region. Many plantation owners struggled to maintain their operations, as they could no longer rely on enslaved labor. Sharecropping became a common arrangement, where formerly enslaved individuals and poor whites would work the land in exchange for a share of the crops, often leading to cycles of debt and poverty. Overall, plantation life was marked by economic instability and the need to adapt to a new social and labor landscape.
