Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During Reconstruction, the economic conditions in the South were complex and varied by region and over time. However, overall, the per capita income for African Americans (blacks) generally rose as they gained freedom from slavery and began to earn wages, albeit often very low. For white Southerners, the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery meant the loss of their primary labor force and a significant portion of their wealth, leading to a decline in their per capita income.
