Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of African Americans during Reconstruction remained agricultural workers, as sharecropping and tenant farming became the dominant economic system in the South following the Civil War. Despite some gains in education and political representation, opportunities for economic mobility were limited, and Jim Crow laws and discriminatory practices kept many African Americans in a state of near-indentured servitude. Urbanization and migration were not widespread until the early 20th century.
