Terms and People cash crop – crop such as cotton and tobacco that is grown not for its own use but to be sold for cash Farmers’ Alliance – network of farmers’ organizations that worked for political and economic reforms in the late 1800s Civil Rights Act of 1875 – law that banned discrimination in public facilities and transportation

How did the southern economy and society change after the Civil War? In the postwar years, railroads crisscrossed the South and industries grew. Yet challenges remained—for the South’s economy and for its people.

In the years following the Civil War, southern leaders hoped to build a “New South.” They worked to modernize the economy by: supporting industries diversifying agriculture

Textile factories and lumber mills sprang up. So did iron, coal, and steel processing plants.

Railroad construction boomed. New rail lines connected urban hubs with rural areas, cities with towns. Railroads moved people and products. Cities grew. 6

War damage was extensive. The South lacked a well-trained labor force, and wages were low. A lack of capital led to a dependence on northern bankers. Yet economic expansion in the South lagged behind the rest of the country. 7

Life was especially difficult for southern farmers. Despite efforts to diversify, most farmers still depended on cash crops. The price of cotton— their main crop— plummeted after the war. 8

Along with falling prices, cotton farmers faced another disaster. Boll weevils wiped out entire crops. For many farmers, it was a struggle just to survive. 9

Faced with serious problems, farmers joined together to form the Farmers’ Alliance. Worked to negotiate better prices on supplies, freight charges, and loan rates Connected farmers in the South and West

Black southerners made important political and economic advances in the postwar years. Most important, they gained: the right to vote access to education

In time, however, many of the gains were reversed. Groups such as the Ku Klux Klan terrorized African Americans. Newfound freedoms were stripped away. Segregation was enforced. 12

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 banned discrimination in public facilities and transportation. The Supreme Court, however, ruled in a series of cases decided in 1883 that such decisions were local issues. Southern towns and cities used the ruling to further limit the rights of African Americans.
