What happened to a lot of land that owners could not afford to keep after the civil war?

History

Paul [167]3 years ago

Answer:

Some, unable to pay their mortgages, lost their plantations when

the banks foreclosed. Some sold out to Northern carpetbaggers.

Those who were able to keep their land realized that they could not

sustain cotton production on an industrial scale without the slave

labor force, because they could not afford to pay living wages.

They developed a system called sharecropping by which the field hands would receive a portion of the crop in exchange for their

labor. The sharecroppers lived on the plantation in their own

shacks. In practice, the system was little better than slavery. the sharecropper had to pay their rent out of their share of the crop,

with very littl left over for anything beyond subsistence.

The governor of Arkansas justified his refusal to allow integration of Central High School in Little Rock by claiming that
Marina86 [1]

He claimed he was acting to protect the public.

The Little Rock School was the center of a highly popular crisis in Little Rock - Arkansas. There was a group called Little Rock Nine that consisted of nine African Americans students who wanted to enter the school which was racially segregated.

After the US Supreme Court decision of calling that all laws that segregated schools were unconstitutional, the high school decided to make a plan to integrate African American students. Many segregationist councils threatened to block the entering of the black students. Governor of Arkansas Orval Faubus decided then to deploy the Arkansas National Guard, and he justified his action by saying that if he didn’t call the national guard people would get hurt.
