Unit 9 – Entering Into the 21st Century, 1980–Present
Topic 9.5
How might Southern agricultural economies have evolved differently if sharecropping hadn't become commonplace after the Civil War?
Without sharecropping, former slaves may have migrated in greater numbers to cities or other regions earlier on, possibly leading to faster industrial growth in the South.
Sharecropping has no significant influence on agricultural economics; hence there wouldn't be any major differences.
The North and South may have declared another war over economic disparities arising from different farming methods.
The South could've returned immediately to antebellum prosperity levels without any social upheaval.
