After Reconstruction, white Southerners took extreme measures to ensure that African-Americans did not gain political power. One of the reasons why is because they feared that African-Americans would elect individuals who would try to change the southern way of life. In order to stop this from happening, several actions were taken.
1) Voting obstacles- Even though the 15th amendment said the no one can be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude, many southern states went around this by implementing literacy tests and poll taxes. These tests and taxes significantly affected the African-American community, as many of them did not have a formal education nor a large enough income to vote.
2) Development of Ku Klux Klan- This organization used violence, intimidation, and threats to ensure that African-Americans did not use the rights guaranteed to them in the constitution.
South Carolina used slaves for the same reasons every other state used them for. It helped save them money,
For example, they have to pay someone for work but they used African Americans as slaves by forcing them into labor and not paying them. Resulting in saving of money
So it was important to South Carolina to help save money as well as pick cotton for other important uses.
Most of it came from state run farms. The communists collectivized farming meaning that there were no private farms anymore but there were only farms run by the state with agriculture workers working for the country and not just for themselves. Their produce would belong to the state and would be sold to people instead of farmers choosing what to do with it.<span />
