How did reconstruction benefit the agricultural economy of the south?

The Reconstruction was a program implemented by the federal government between 1865 and 1877 to repair damage to the South caused by the Civil War and restore the Southern states to the Union.

During that time, former slaves became sharecroppers, a system which allowed them to farm an owner’s land. Sharecropping was a form of response to the economic change that was the emancipation of slaves and disenfranchisement of poor whites.

The former slave-based plantations were subdivided into tenant or sharecropper farms.

Another system emerged that was the rural tenancy, that was an arrangement that a landowner can use to make full use of the property, the non-landowner will reside on the property and work the land in exchange for giving the landowner a percentage of the profits.
