Hi there!
In the Southern United States, the dominant industry was agriculture due to its geographic location and climate.
States such as Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama were home to large amounts of cotton plantations, while others were reliant on tobacco, indigo, and other crops such as wheat and rice.
Religion in the colonies began to disintegrate. Congregants were now urged to seek God personally and uphold morality through self-examination. The popular belief before the Great Awakening was that power or religious messages flow from God to religious leaders who then disseminate the message to the people. After the Great Awakening, people believed that God could inspire them directly.
Hope this Helps ;)
As part of being readmitted to the Union, states had to ratify the new amendments to the Constitution. The Union did a lot to help the South during the Reconstruction. They rebuilt roads, got farms running again, and built schools for poor and black children. Eventually the economy in the South began to recover.
They were mostly Japanese Americans from Hawaii.
