Answer:
The correct answer is A) The invention of a steel tipped plow and a reaper
Explanation:
The invention of a steel tipped plow and a reaper helped the farming industry to develop in the west.
While it seems like an ordinary tool by modern standards, the steel tipped plow was a revolution in it's day. Being strong and sturdy, it greatly improved the efficiency of ploughing and farming.
Before Steel, most people used hard wood plow which were expensive, easily damaged and not very efficient.
The answer would be A. The land was divided into smaller plots with housing for sharecroppers because after the war slavery was outlawed so former slaves only knew how to farm and in order to get income they went back to plantations as sharecroppers.
Sharecroppers were people who rented out housing and tools with a share of their crops in order to live.
