Answer: The Southern Colonies had an agricultural economy
Explanation: Most colonists lived on small family farms, but some owned large plantations that produced cash crops such as tobacco and rice. Many slaves worked on plantations.
In the postwar period, the situation was not changed dramatically when it came to racial discrimination int he United States. There were still many people that didn't wanted to have anything with the people of other racial groups, and did not saw them as equal to them. This was very upsetting for the people of other racial groups, such as the African Americans, Native Americans, the people of Asian ancestry, especially because they risked their lives for the country and for the people living in it during the war. They could not understand who is it possible that they put their lives on the front in order to protect the others, just to be discriminated again when they came back home by those same people that they were fighting for.
They were all afraid of irritating people (who vote). Since people (who vote) decided their unavoidable future, they didn't want to take any strong stances on anything and just went with the flow and played the tune that the people wanted to hear. They needed to stay in power and not lose it for taking a serious stance..........
