The United States had to face several challenges in redefining the union after the war. Two main problems were: how to deal with the Southern states that were still angry for losing, and what they should do with the ex-slaves. It was difficult to get American together after many people died in the Civil war and big part of the South was destroyed by the battles.
Apart from that, they had other challenges such as: building a solid economy, creating a stable political system, preserving the national independence (reducing conflicts with other nations and the nation itself), fostering American shipping, consolidating public support, reducing debts, etc.
Due to the Industrial Revolution, the once lush and bountiful grasslands and forests were replaced by urban areas (cities).
One of the different working conditions of slaves in the antebellum south was that these quarters consisted of a large grouping of rudely made cabins. Within these slave barracks, black families began to seize, hold, and extended families slowly gained approval for living together within the same homestead. This provided for the cultivation and flourishment of the black community. Southern slaves also tasted a small dose of freedom when allowed to plant and manage their own, small cash crops. This added to the home realm in which black life and expression overrode white intervention. The home began to represent more than just a form of shelter... it became the haven for the development of the African-American experience
Another one of the different working conditions of slaves in the Antebellum south was that many owners had experienced such runaway rates and unsettled behavior from their male slaves that they were forced to begin to buy more females, even though they were not considered as a valuable commodity. The main reason for the purchasing of slave woman had definitely been for reasons that involved the slaveholder's sexual desires rather than the female's economic potential. But slave masters soon began to buy an equal amount of black women and men for their plantations in order to ensure families and hence stable slave behavior. A married male slave had more responsibility to his mate and children and therefore would be more deterred from trying to escape.
