After the Civil War, the typical planter in Georgia had plenty of land but no labor to work it. How was slave labor replaced in Georgia?

Landowners shared resources with each other to keep the plantations going until harvest time.


Large numbers of black Georgians became landowners and hired other black people to work the land.


Landowners allowed people with no land to grow crops on their land for a share of those crops.


Many landowners sold their land, moved north, and gave up farming because there was no labor available.

Respuesta :

After the Civil War ended and the slaves were freed, the white crop owners faced the obstacle of how to replace the slave labor. They did try to force the labor upon the freed with disastrous consequences so they had to compromise. Some former slaves were given land to harvest but it was not considered a large amount. The answer is option 3: Landowners allowed people with no land to grow crops (most specifically cotton) This was called sharecropping.
