How was the economy of the south in the 1850s connected to culture of.slavery

Most of this has to do with what is known "King Cotton" or the "Cotton Kingdom". Cotton was an extremely valuable product; it helped the North's manufacturing, it helped increase the North's capital from shipping the cotton to Europe, and it is estimated that 1/5 of jobs in Britain at the time were dependent on cotton. Back in the South, the invention of the cotton gin helped increase cotton output astronomically. Cotton picking and cleaning is an extremely timely and laboring process, and the need for cotton was still high, so slavery was the obvious answer. Slaves were also growing in population due to their own reproduction rate, perhaps the only time in history this has occurred. All of this had heavily tied slavery to the Southern economy on the eve of the Civil War.

Why do you think after the war is over, the next era (Reconstruction) will be extremely
g100num [7]
Just. because formal battles have ended, does not mean both sides will accept the outcome. Prejudice and need for cheap labor was still deeply ingrained.

The confederate south had been devastated by the Civil War. Money and law enforcement from Union military would be required., for years! The US treasury did not make enough budgeted funds available for equitable reconstruction. Blocking pro-freedmen legislation.

Many of former confederate states would send pro-slavery/anti negro representatives to US House and Senate.

Political squabbling would continue with the compromise of 18xx would remove federal troops. Dominant white racist ideals would prevail. Banks not loaning to freed slaves, only at unreasonable high interest rates, would reduce business and land ownership.
