After the Civil War (1861-1865), the land was divided into small parcels and started to be rented or sharecropped. At that time slavery was condemned, so former slaves became those sharecroppers who rented the land of plantations in order to stand for a living by producing and sharing the crops. The owners or the new sharecropped demolished slaves’ old housing and built new ones near the main house. Besides, owners had to start paying taxes in cash which produced an impoverishment of plantations.
Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that were trading with France.
<span>When Truman had become President, he was the one who had to face the economic consequences of demobilization........ as war contracts were cancelled and there were cutbacks in production it led to layoffs and inflation. i hope this helps :) </span>
