The existence of periodic overproduction crisis is a main characteristic of the market economy system.

In general, the more than an economy can produce, the better as the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) figures increase, there is economic growth and high income and employment figures .

But if an excessive quantity of production is offered in the markets in relation to the amounts demanded, there will be situations of excess supply. If such situations cannot be balanced, a big crisis arises, as producers will have large unsold stocks, factories with an enormous capacity if compared to the amount they can sell according to the demand, and much more workers than they need.

In this situation many plants have to close down, workers are fired and sometimes even the whole business goes bankrupt.

The contradiction happens because high production figures are not leading to economic growth or recording positive figures. Alternatively, an overproduction crisis takes place with the very negative consequences described above.

Answer:

B. continued to suffer

Explanation:

During Reconstruction, the Southern economy struggled to get back on its feet. The farmlands which were the major source of living for the former African American slaves had just been destroyed, and in some cases completely burned down to the roots. The former slaves hoped to be given some of the lands where they worked without pay, but instead of that, their white masters sought for ways to still make them work for little pay and restrict their freedom.

The lands were not redistributed. So, this situation made the African Americans in the south struggle in order to rebuild their economy. Sharecropping and Tenant farming evolved during Reconstruction, and Textile mills became dominant in the region.
